Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

The junction between a motor neuron and the sarcolemma of the muscle fiber is called the neuromuscular junction or motor-end plate. A neural signal reaching this junction (motor-end plate) releases a neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) which generates an action potential in the sarcolemma.
