The myoneural junction, also known as the neuromuscular junction, is the synapse or connection point between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber. Its primary function is to transmit signals from the nervous system to the muscle, facilitating muscle contraction. When an electrical impulse reaches the junction, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine, which bind to receptors on the muscle fiber, leading to depolarization and subsequent contraction. This process is essential for voluntary movement and muscle coordination.
