In contrast to neuron~neuron synapses, the arrival of one action potential at the end of the axon of a neuro~muscular junction always results in the production of an action potential in the muscle cell membrane. Answer BOTH of the following questions. Describe 2 anatomical characteristics of a neuro~muscular junction that are different from a neuron~neuron synapse. For each anatomical characteristic, briefly explain how that feature helps ensure that one axon action potential results in a muscle cell action potential.
