Neuromuscular Junction
Synapses are located throughout the nervous system. A synapse is a sort of 'relay station' where a message, in the form a a chemical neurotransmitter, is passed on between one neuron (nerve fibre) & the next, or between a neuron & the muscle or gland the message is aimed at.
What is a synapse between a nerve fiver and a muscle fiber
A nueromusculator junction
it might be called a axon It is called a motor end plate.
The tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals from the axon are transmitted to the dendrite or muscle through the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
It depends on what the next structure is. If it is another neurone, then it is a synapse. If it is skeletal muscle, then the it is a neuromuscular junction. If it is any other type of muscle, then it is a myoneural junction.

The space between a nerve and muscle is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the nerve endings release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which signal the muscle to contract.
The location where a neuron transfers an impulse to another neuron or to a muscle cell is called a synapse. At the synapse, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron or muscle cell, facilitating the transmission of the signal. This process is crucial for communication within the nervous system and between nerves and muscles.
Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine transmit impulses between nerve and muscle cells. These chemical messengers are released at the synapse where nerve and muscle cells meet, allowing for the transmission of signals that trigger muscle contraction.
