Connection between the axon the muscle
A
Synapse
B
Neurotransmitter
C
Motor Neuron
D
Axon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This special form of synapse between a motor neuron axon and a muscle fibre is called a neuromuscular junction. The arrival of a nerve impulse at the neuromuscular junction causes thousands of tiny vesicles (pouches) filled with a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine to be released from the axon tip into the synapse.

Detailed explanation-2: -The communication site between motor nerve axons and muscle fibers is called the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). This junction allows the transmission of nerve impulses from the axonal end of the motor neuron to the muscle fiber. It is a synaptic connection between neurons and muscle fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synapses are part of the circuit that connects sensory organs, like those that detect pain or touch, in the peripheral nervous system to the brain. Synapses connect neurons in the brain to neurons in the rest of the body and from those neurons to the muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The space between the two is known as the synaptic cleft.
