Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the space between the axon terminal and the motor endplate?
A
Axon Terminal
B
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
C
Synaptic Cleft
D
Synaptic Vesicles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A neuromuscular junction is the junction between the axon terminal of a motor neuron and the plasma membrane of the motor end plate of a muscle fiber. With the arrival of an action potential to the axon terminal, voltage-dependent calcium channels open, and calcium infuses into the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The space between the two is known as the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is a small gap between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the membrane of the postsynaptic cell, and this gap is called the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-4: -The muscular component is a region of the muscle fiber referred to as the motor end plate. 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-5: -A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.
