Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The point where the axon terminal synapses with the muscle fiber sarcolemma is called the ____

A	active site
B	membrane receptor
C	sarcolemma junction
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: -Answer and Explanation: The gap between an axon terminal and the muscle cell is called the a) synaptic cleft. In fact, the synaptic cleft between an axon terminal and muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction.

Detailed explanation-3: -neuromuscular junction, also called myoneural junction, site of chemical communication between a nerve fibre and a muscle cell. The neuromuscular junction is analogous to the synapse between two neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
