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.
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
The folded region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction is called the motor end plate. It is responsible for receiving signals from the motor neuron and initiating muscle contraction. The motor end plate is rich in acetylcholine receptors, which play a key role in neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction.
Neuromuscular junction or neuromuscular synapse
neuromuscular junction
The point where a nerve fiber connects to a muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction. This connection allows the nerve signal, or action potential, to be transmitted from the nerve to the muscle cell, triggering muscle contraction.
Well of course they meet at the neuromuscular junction
This point is often called the neuromuscular junction or motor end plate. ?The neurotransmitter used here is acetylcholine.Many diseases occur with dysfunction at this junction, like Myesthenia Gravis, botulism, or Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome.
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
The nervous system and the muscular system are connected by the neuromuscular junction. The connection is done with synapses between nerve and muscle fibers.

An axon and the sarcolemma.
The folded region of the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction is called the motor end plate. It is responsible for receiving signals from the motor neuron and initiating muscle contraction. The motor end plate is rich in acetylcholine receptors, which play a key role in neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction.
Neuromuscular junction or neuromuscular synapse
The neuromuscular junction is a specialized synapse where motor neurons communicate with skeletal muscle fibers, facilitating muscle contraction. When a motor neuron releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, it binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, triggering an electrical impulse that leads to muscle contraction. This junction is crucial for voluntary movement and coordination, enabling the nervous system to control muscle activity.
