MCQ
Neuromuscular junction is a junction between
  • A
    Two neurons and muscles
  • B
    Sensory neurons and muscles
  • Motor neurons and sarcolemma of muscles
  • D
    Sensory neurons and sarcolemma of muscles

Answer

Correct option: C.
Motor neurons and sarcolemma of muscles
c
The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fibre is called the neuromuscular junction or motor end plate. A neural signal reaching this junction releases a neurotransmitter, acetylecholine which generates an action potential in the sarcolemma
