Question:

Stimulation of a muscle fiber by a motor neuron occurs at the neuromuscular junction, the transverse tubules, the myofibril, or the sarcoplasmic reticulum?

The transverse tubules

The myofibril

The neuromuscular junction

The sacroplasmic reticulum

Solution:

The neuromuscular junction connects the nervous system to the muscular system via synapses between efferent nerve fibers and muscle fibers. So, the stimulation of a muscle fiber, by a motor neuron occurs at the sarcolemma of the neuromuscular junction due to the release of a neurotransmitter (Acetylcholine).Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'The neuromuscular junction'.
