Answers (1)

best_answer

A neuromuscular junction  is a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. It allows the motor neuron to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber causing muscle contraction. The structure of neuromuscular junction can be divided into three main parts: a presynaptic part (nerve terminal), the postsynaptic part (motor endplate), and an area between pre and post synatic part called  synaptic cleft.
