What is the term for the connection between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that a motor neuron is a type of nerve cell that sends signals to muscles.
  • Step 2: Know that a muscle fiber is a single muscle cell that can contract to help move parts of the body.
  • Step 3: Learn that the connection point where the motor neuron meets the muscle fiber is called a synapse.
  • Step 4: Identify the specific name for this synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber, which is the neuromuscular junction.
  • Step 5: Recognize that the neuromuscular junction is important because it helps the muscle fiber contract when the motor neuron sends a signal.
