Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The space between the motor neuron and a muscle fiber at a neuromuscular junction
A
synaptic knob
B
motor end plate
C
synaptic cleft
D
motor neural termination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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.

Detailed explanation-3: -This gap between two neurons or a neuron and a muscle fibre is called synapse. The points where neurons are connected with the muscles are also called neuro – muscular junction.
