The junction between the axon terminals of a neuron and the receiving cell is called a synapse. (Synapses at muscle fibers are also called neuromuscular junctions or myoneural junctions 1  .). Action potentials travel down the axon of the neuron to its end(s), the axon terminal(s). Neuromuscular junction can be defined as a synapse the motor neuron and the muscle fiber. Actually the synapse occurs between the “synaptic end bulbs” of the motor neuron and “motor end plate ” of muscle fiber. The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneural junction? The unique synapse between a neuron and a muscle cell is called the neuromuscular junction. The last section of the axon as it approaches the muscle fiber has no myelin. It stops 30nm from the double-layered lipid muscle membrane, called the sarcolemma. FIGURE 5.35 Label: muscle fibers, endomysium, perimysium, epimysium, fascicle 11) The Neuromuscular Junction Voluntary muscle cells are always stimulated by motor neurons via nerve impulses. The junction between a nerve fiber (axon) and a muscle cell is called a neuromuscular, junction. Synaptic cleft is the space between the motor end plate (muscle fiber part) and synaptic end bulb (motor neuron part) of the neuromuscular junction. It is 20 to 30 nanometers wide. Because of this cleft, the connection between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber is not continuous and there is a break. Each neuromuscular junction consists of the axon terminal of a motor neuron and the motor end plate of a muscle fibre. : 1  The long processes of neurones are called axons. : 2  The part of the sarcolemma of the muscle cell that is in closest proximity to the synaptic end bulb is called the  motor end plate . The junction between the terminal of a motor neuron and a muscle fiber is called the neuromuscular junction. It is simply one kind of synapse. (The neuromuscular junction is also called the myoneural junction.). The terminals of motor axons contain thousands of vesicles filled with acetylcholine (ACh). Within the axon terminal are many small vesicles containing a neurotransmitter substance called ____. 18. Nerve impulse. When the ______ reaches the ends of the axon, the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses to to the muscle cell membrane to combine with receptors there. Synapses and neuromuscular junctions are physiologically the same, however, the neuromuscular junction is a specific type of synapse that occurs between motor neuron and muscle fiber. At other places in the body, such as the Central Nervous System, the structure with similar role is known as synapse.
