Assertion: Motor neuron terminates on a motor end plate at the neuromuscular junction. Reason: Motor endplate acts as receptor for detecting changes in the muscle fibres.
When a stimulus from the motor neuron arrives at the motor end plate: A) there is an immediate increase in muscle fiber tension. B) the sarcolemma depolarizes. C) the distance between the Z lines begins to lengthen. D) glycogen stores in the muscle fiber are replaced. E) calcium is removed from troponin, allowing for muscle contraction to occur.

The function of the gamma motor neuron is to -control the sensitivity of the muscle spindle -limit the degree of contraction of the muscle -detect changes in the muscle fiber length -stimulate the muscle to contract
