GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Synaptic cleft-the space between the axon terminal (synaptic end bulb) and the sarcolemma (motor end plate) Page 11 Neuromuscular Junction It is the the region formed by the axon terminal of the motor neuron and the motor end plate of the muscle fiber.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell membranes of motor nerve terminals and muscle fibers are separated by a space called the synaptic cleft, which is approximately 30 – 50 nm. In the synaptic cleft, acetylcholinesterase is concentrated to hydrolyze the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to terminate each synaptic transmission.
