Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The part of the sarcolemma (the muscle cell membrane) that meets a motor neuron
A
synaptic knob
B
motor end plate
C
synaptic cleft
D
motor neural termination
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: -Each skeletal muscle fiber is controlled by a motor neuron, which conducts signals from the brain or spinal cord to the muscle. The area of the sarcolemma on the muscle fiber that interacts with the neuron is called the motor end plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The answer is “motor end plate”. The sarcolemma can be described as the muscle cell’s plasma membrane. A synapse is a neurological junction where the axon terminal meets the postsynaptic neuron or another target cell (like muscle fiber).
