La synapse neuromusculaire est le point de contact entre la terminaison nerveuse (région présynaptique) et la plaque motrice, région différenciée de la fibre musculaire. La terminaison nerveuse contient de nombreuses vésicules qui sécrètent un neuromédiateur, l'acétylcholine; ce neuromédiateur est normalement libéré au niveau de la synapse à l'arrivée de l'influx nerveux, et induit une dépolarisation au niveau de la plaque motrice, qui à son tour induit un potentiel d'action au niveau de la fibre musculaire. 2, record 1, French, - terminaison%20pr%C3%A9synaptique
