GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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. It is also a site for many diseases and a site of action for many pharmacological drugs.

Detailed explanation-2: -A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.

Detailed explanation-3: -At its simplest, the neuromuscular junction is a type of synapse where neuronal signals from the brain or spinal cord interact with skeletal muscle fibers, causing them to contract.
