The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, we need to identify the terms related to the junctions between neurons and between a neuron and a muscle fiber. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the junction between two neurons**: - The connection between two neurons is known as a **synapse**. This is a small gap that allows signals to pass from one neuron to another. 2. **Identify the junction between a neuron and a muscle fiber**: - The connection between a neuron and a muscle fiber is called a **neuromuscular junction**. This is a specific type of synapse where the motor neuron communicates with the muscle fiber to trigger muscle contraction. 3. **Complete the answer**: - Therefore, the complete answer to the question is: - The junction between two neurons is called a **synapse**, while the junction between a neuron and a muscle fiber is called a **neuromuscular junction**. ### Final Answer: The junction between two neurons is called a **synapse** while the junction between a neuron and a muscle fiber is called a **neuromuscular junction**. ---
