MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Synaptic Cleft / Junctional Cleft: The space between the nerve terminal and the plasma membrane of muscle is called synaptic/junctional cleft and measures ∼50 nm. It is the site where presynaptic neurotransmitters, ACh is released before it interacts with nicotinic ACh receptors on the motor endplate.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -The synaptic cleft is the gap between the presynaptic terminal and the postsynaptic muscle membrane, which is filled with a specialized form of extracellular matrix called synaptic basal lamina (Sanes, 2003). This matrix is crucial for the alignment, organization and structural integrity of the NMJ.

Detailed explanation-4: -the narrow space between the synaptic terminal an the muscle fiber is the. synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-5: -The space between two neurons across which the impulse is transmitted by a neurotransmitter is known as synaptic cleft. The neuron that transmits the signals are known as presynaptic neurons and the neurons that receive the signal are known as postsynaptic neurons.
