MICROANATOMY

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: -The neuromuscular junction-where nerves and muscle fibers meet-is an essential synapse for muscle contraction and movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.

Detailed explanation-4: -The axon terminal of a motor neuron “connects” with the muscle fiber at a place called the neuromuscular junction|], (In general, a motor neuron and the muscle fibers under its control are called a motor unit.)

Detailed explanation-5: -The skeletal muscle neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a highly organized synapse formed between a motor neuron (MN) axon and a muscle fiber. It is designed to transmit efferent signals from projecting MNs to muscle fibers in order to actuate fiber contraction.
