Neuromuscular Junction
The synapse or junction where a motor neuron transmits a signal to a muscle fiber, causing it to contract.
Synaptic Vesicles
Small sacs in presynaptic neurons that store neurotransmitters, which are released into the synaptic cleft to transmit neural signals.
Synaptic Cleft
The small gap between neighboring neurons, across which neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
