motor end-plate

The motor end-plate and its innervation are key to the communication between nerves and muscles, enabling voluntary movement and bodily function. This article explores the anatomical and physiological details of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) as depicted in a diagram, highlighting the roles of the axon terminal, synaptic cleft, and acetylcholine (ACh) in muscle activation. Examining these components offers a deeper understanding of how muscle contraction is initiated and sustained.
