Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The association site of the axon terminal of the motor neuron and sarcolemma of a muscle is called a ____
A
synaptic cleft
B
neuromuscular junction
C
motor end plate
D
neurotranmitter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -EXPLANATION: The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called the motor end plate .

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The gap between the axon terminal of a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of a skeletal muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The muscular component is a region of the muscle fiber referred to as the motor end plate. Between the synaptic end bulbs of the neuron and the cell membrane of the muscle fiber (the sarcolemma) lies a space known as the synaptic cleft, which is the final component of the neuromuscular junction.

Detailed explanation-4: -The area of synaptic contact between motor neurons and their target muscle fibers is the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). This synapse occurs at a specialized area of the sarcolemma called the endplate (Figure 1).
