Answer #1

The answer is option C.
Acetylcholinesterase is that enzyme which is present in the synapse and destroy the neurotransmitter which is released from the motor end plate that is the acetylcholine to acetate and choline.
Acteylcholine is the neurotransmitter which is synthesized in the cytoplasm and they are stored in the form of vesicles.
Neurotoxin is that substance that block the activity of neuron by blocking the ion channels and they have an inhibitory effect in the neuron.
Option d is irrelevant.

.) Which statement concerning the neuromuscular junction is incorrect? Epinephrine is the neurotransmitter released from vesicles in the synaptic knob of the neuron. The neuromuscular junction is the site at which a motor neuron synapses with a muscle fiber. The motor endplate is the depression on the muscle fiber plasma membrane that forms part of the neuromuscular junction. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that is located in the basal lamina of the neuromuscular junction that deactivates Acetylcholine.
