The gap between the axon terminal and muscle cell is called the synaptic cleft. It is defined as the small gap, measured in nanometers, between an axon terminal and any of the cell membranes in the immediate vicinity.
Its the neuromuscular cleft which plays a part in the neuromuscular junction
This space is called the neuromuscular junction. If it is between two neurons, it is called the synaptic cleft.
Neuromuscular junction ( AKA N.M.J.)
Synapses
the synaptic cleft
It is probably the synaptic cleft
The axon terminal of a nerve cell is adjacent to the neuromuscular junction. The axon terminal releases neurotransmitters that transmit signals across the synapse to the muscle fiber. This signal triggers muscle contraction.
To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.

neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
The neurotransmitter is released from the axon terminal.
"A muscle cell remains contracted until the release of acetylcholine stops and an enzyme produced at the axon terminal destroys any remaining acetylcholine."
Neuromuscular junction.
An axon terminal is the structure of a neuron (a single cell of the central or peripheral nervous system) at the end of it's axon that forms a synapse with another neuron. Generally, the axon terminal is the point at which a neuron passes information to the neurons with which it is connected.
