What is the Name of the Area of the Sarcolemma

Question

What is the name of the area of the sarcolemma that is associated with the neuromuscular junction?
A) junctional folds
B) synaptic terminal
C) synaptic cleft
D) motor end plate

Accepted Answer

The motor end plate is a highly specialized region of the sarcolemma that is associated with the neuromuscular junction, where a motor neuron communicates with a muscle fiber. The motor end plate has a unique structure that includes specialized junctional folds and receptors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is released from the synaptic terminal of the motor neuron. The motor end plate is where the action potential from the motor neuron is transmitted to the muscle fiber, triggering contraction.
