Question

Why synapse termed as motor plate

Answer 1

The region where the impulse moves from one neurone to another is called a synapse....

It consists of three components

•A presynaptic membrane

•A narrow space called synaptic cleft

•A postsynaptic membrane

However the postsynaptic membrane maybe a muscle or a cell membrane in that case the synapse is termed as

*motor end plate*

Answer 2

Answer:

• Very small processes that run along the skeletal muscle cells are produced in the terminal portion of the axon.
• Synapses are specialized structures that run parallel to these processes.
• The term "motor endplate" refers to the specific synapse formed between a spinal motor neuron and a skeletal muscle cell.
• Three characteristics of chemical synapses in the nervous system can be seen in the synapse at the neuromuscular junction.
• First, the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes are clearly distinguished from one another.
• The term "synaptic cleft" refers to the space between the two.
• The synaptic cleft must be crossed by some sort of intermediary signaling mechanism, according to the space, for information to pass between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons.
