There is no junction. Motor neurons are riddled throughout the muscle spindles. Every muscle spindle has a nerve supply or it would not function. think about the way capilaries infiltrate mucles, it's pretty finite. when you are talking about the neurons you are talking about a finite thing, there are billions of them in your body.

∙ 9y agoThe neuromuscular junction is the point where the motor neuron terminates on the skeletal muscle. It is a synapse, or gap.

A motor neuron together with the muscle fiber it innervates?
it is the motor unit
How is a skeletal muscle fiber stimulated by a motor neuron?
motor unitUnit
The motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls constitute a what?
Motor Unit :)
The synapse of a motor neuron with a muscle fiber is known as the what?
neuromuscular junction
What is the function of the neuromuscular junction is to?
Includes the axon terminal of a motor neuron plus the motor end plate of a muscle fiber. Is where the axons of motor nerves meet the muscle & transmit messages from the brain which cause the muscle to contract & relax.
Each skeletal muscle fiber is controlled by a motor neuron at a single?
neuromuscular junction
Does the motor neuron send a signal to or from the muscle fiber?
Sensory Neuron sends info to the brain while the motor sends the info to the muscle fiber.The motor neurone sends a signal from the CNS or PNS to the effector muscle or gland. Therefore the motor neurone sends a signal TO the muscle fibre.
Synapse formed between the axon terminals of a motor neuron and the motor end plate of a muscle fiber?
Neuromuscular Junction
Skeletal muscle fiber is controlled by a motor neuron at a single?
Each muscle cell is only innervated by a single motor neuron, but each motor neuron innervates any number of muscle cells. When an action potential travels down the axon of an alpha motor neuron, it will depolarize several muscle cells at the same time, a phenomenon known as summation.
The point of contract between the nerve ending and the muscle fiber is called a motor neuron?
Neuromuscular junction (NMJ)
What is a motor neuron attached to?
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
Which two structures approach each other at a neuromuscular junction?
The motor neuron and the muscle fiber approach each other.
