The nervous and the muscular system interacts as follows

  • Receptors in the muscles [provide the brain with information about the body position and movement.
  • The brain send signal back down the spinal cord directed to the location of desired muscle
  • The ultimate effect of this signals is the acetylcholine is released onto the muscle fibers which target nicotinic cholinergic receptors which open ion channel that cause the muscle to contract.
