Action potential arrives at the axon terminal.  

Calcium ions enter the axon terminal  

Synaptic vesicles fuse to membrane of axon terminal. Acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft.

Acetylcholine binds to its receptors on the junctional folds.

Junctional folds become depolarized.

Action potential is initiated on the sarcolemma.  

Explanation:

When the electrical signal (action potential) reaches the axon terminal it opens Ca channels that release Ca ions from the outside inside the axon terminal. Ca ions trigger the fusion of vesicle with membrane of the presynaptic cell (axon terminal). As a consequence, neurotransmitter-acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft. It diffuses to the postsynaptic cell and binds to its receptor (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor). The binding of acetylcholine leads to the depolarization of  the sarcolemma.
