 Define or describe the following term: Neuromuscular junction.?

Answer:

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a specialized synapse between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber. The motor neuron releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which binds to receptors on the muscle fiber and triggers an action potential in the muscle, leading to contraction. This is the point of communication between the nervous system and the muscle, allowing for voluntary control of muscle contraction.
