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.

What part of nerve cell is adjacent to neuromuscular junction?
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.
What are functions of synaptic junction?
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.
What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
What is the name of the site close juxtaposition of an axon terminal with the muscle cell plasmalemma?
the motor end-plate
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
Axosomatic
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a?
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
What part of neuron releases neurotransmitter my choices are axon axon terminal dendrite myelin sheath or cell body?
The neurotransmitter is released from the axon terminal.
What terminates a muscle contraction?
"A muscle cell remains contracted until the release of acetylcholine stops and an enzyme produced at the axon terminal destroys any remaining acetylcholine."
The actual gap between an axon ending and the muscle cell is called what?
Neuromuscular junction.
What is an axon-terminal?
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.
What is the place where an axon terminal meets another cell?
"synapse"
