Question

Name the following:

The site of communication between motor nerve axons and muscle fibers.

Answer 1

Motor nerve:

1. Motor nerves are the nerve cells that carry the nerve impulse from the central nervous system to various parts of the body, especially muscles.
2. Different types of motor nerves have been named in the human body. Examples include oculomotor, trochlear, hypoglossal nerves, etc.

The junction between motor nerve and muscle fibers:

1. The communication site between motor nerve axons and muscle fibers is called the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).
2. This junction allows the transmission of nerve impulses from the axonal end of the motor neuron to the muscle fiber.
3. It is a synaptic connection between neurons and muscle fibers.
