Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction:

The area connecting the motor neuron to the skeletal muscle is called the neuromuscular junction.  It is involved in the voluntary movement of muscles. Upon receiving a signal from the brain, the motor neurons produce an impulse called an action potential to facilitate muscle contraction. The action potential, at the axon terminal, promotes the synthesis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft, releasing calcium ions.
