While doing "jumping jacks" during an exercise class, your arms and legs move laterally away from the midline of your body. This motion is called:______ A. extension B. flexion C. abduction D. adduction E. circumduction

C. abduction

Arrange the steps involved in the development of an action potential in the neuromuscular junction from start to end A. calcium channels open, and calcium ions enter the axon terminal causing synaptic vesicles to release ACh B. depolarization opens more sodium channels that allow sodium ions to enter the cell C. acetylcholinesterase (AChE) breaks down acetylcholine into acetic acid and choline D.
