What is neuromusclular junction?

Connection between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber. Neuromuscular junction is made up of: 1. Axon ending of the motor neuron (contains the vessicles with acetylcholine ; neurotransmitter) 2. Motor end plate (portion of the sarcolemma that contacts the axon ending) 3. Synaptic cleft (space between the motor neuron and the motor end plate) Impulse--->axon ending--->release of ACH (acetycholine)--->ACH in the synaptic cleft--->ACH binds to the ACH receptors--->release of Calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum--->Calcium activates Troponin and Tropomyosin--->binding sites are exposed.

What is the difference between a motor unit and a motor neuron in the context of muscle movement?

A motor unit consists of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it controls. The motor neuron sends signals to the muscle fibers to contract, while the motor unit refers to the combination of the neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.
