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.

In the synaptic cleft of a neuromuscular junction what enzyme is always present?
Acetylcholinesterase (AchE)
What is a junction or point of close contact between neuron?
The synaptic cleft is the junction or point of close contact between neurons.
What is the space junction between two neurons called?
Synaptic cleft
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
Describe the components of the neuromuscular junction?
Axon,motor end plate,synaptic cleft and muscle fiber.
The tiny space between the axon terminal and the dendrite of another neuron is called the?
Synaptic Cleft.
In the synaptic cleft of a neuromuscular junction what enzyme is always present?
Acetylcholinesterase (AchE)
What is a junction or point of close contact between neuron?
The synaptic cleft is the junction or point of close contact between neurons.
Which part of the nerve cell ivides into synaptic end-bulbs at neuromuscular junction?
The axon.
What is the space junction between two neurons called?
Synaptic cleft
Gap between axon terminal and muscle cell?
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.
Which structure contains vesicles with acetylcholine?
Synaptic vesicles in the neuromuscular junction contain acetylcholine (ACh) which is the neurotransmitter for initiating muscular contractions.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
Describe the components of the neuromuscular junction?
Axon,motor end plate,synaptic cleft and muscle fiber.
What position on the muscle cell where the nerve fibers connect?
The term for the connection between a muscle cell and a neuron is the neuromuscular junction.
The signal to excite a muscle cell must cross the neuromuscular junction by the diffusion of acetylcholine across the?
synaptic cleft
The axon terminals of a nerve cell and the sarcolemma of a skeletal muscle cell join at the?
Synaptic Cleft
