    • Axons-are extensions of a nerve cell that carry an impulse
    • Myofibril-are contractile structures of the muscle consisting of actin and myosin
    • Sarcolemma-Is the cell membrane
    • Synaptic vesicle-Is where acetylcholine is stored
    • Synaptic cleft-Is the gap between neurons
    • Motor end plate-Is where the action potential from an action travels to stimulate a muscle
