The neuromuscular junction is a synapse between a nerve fiber and a muscle fiber. Just one nerve fiber is able to stimulate several points within the neuromuscular junction. The structure also depicted shows the synaptic knob and synaptic cleft. The knob is the site of synaptic vesicles and where neurotransmitters are released, the cleft is the space where these neurotransmitters diffuse through.

​​The neuromuscular junction plays a vital role in skeletal muscle function. It should be noted here that neuromuscular activity in human physiology is a major adaptive system that facilitates and controls movement and stability in both skeletal and smooth muscle function.
