The synaptic knob, motor end plate, and the synaptic cleft are all key parts of the neuromuscular junction. The synaptic knob of an axon connects with a skeletal muscle fiber to form the…

The Myocardium’s smooth outer membrane is called the epicardium and its inner lining is called the endocardium. The heart muscle like any other organ or tissue in your body needs oxygen-rich…
