MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The gap between the axon terminal of a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of a skeletal muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction.

Detailed explanation-2: -In fact, the synaptic cleft between an axon terminal and muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The area of the sarcolemma on the muscle fiber that interacts with the neuron is called the motor-end plate. The end of the neuron’s axon is called the synaptic terminal; it does not actually contact the motor-end plate. A small space called the synaptic cleft separates the synaptic terminal from the motor-end plate.
