Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Communication between axons and muscle fibers occurs at specialized synapses called neuromuscular junctions. Junctional folds and motor end plates are both components of the neuromuscular junction, but neuromuscular junction is the most accurate term to describe the synapse. Active sites are locations on actin molecules where myosin binds during muscle contraction, and Z lines are structural components found in the sarcomere of a muscle fiber. Neither of these terms describes the communication between axons and muscle fibers.
