the gap between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber it supplies at the neuromuscular junction
A
H
B
Z
C
synaptic cleft
D
sarcomere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell membranes of motor nerve terminals and muscle fibers are separated by a space called the synaptic cleft, which is approximately 30 – 50 nm. In the synaptic cleft, acetylcholinesterase is concentrated to hydrolyze the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to terminate each synaptic transmission.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -In fact, the synaptic cleft between an axon terminal and muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction. This is because the neuromuscular junction is a specialized type of synaptic cleft that transmits signals from a neuron to muscle cells, causing muscle contraction.

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

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: The space between the muscle cell and nerve terminal is called the neuromuscular junction.
