point where an axon terminals of a nerve cell and the sarcolemma of a skeletal muscle join
A
acetylcholine (Ach)
B
ATP
C
cross bridges
D
neuromuscular junction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -EXPLANATION: The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called the motor end plate . It is formed at the sites, where the terminal branches of the axon of a motor neuron contact with a muscle cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synaptic connection between the terminal end of a motor nerve and a muscle (skeletal/ smooth/ cardiac). It is the site for the transmission of action potential from nerve to the muscle. It is also a site for many diseases and a site of action for many pharmacological drugs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The neuromuscular junction-where nerves and muscle fibers meet-is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement.
