Could you specify what you are looking for because there would a lot of ways to weaken a contraction, such as releasing acetylcholinesterase, myastenia gravis, etc. :P

Ok then.
What is the distance between the presynaptic axon and the motor endplate at the neuromuscular junction?

The synaptic cleft is the region between the presynaptic terminal and postsynaptic membrane.

You are correct, but I was asking for the exact distance between the presynpatic terminal and motor endplate, with units.

but that's good. Your turn!

Yay! Time for some Skeletal bony processes (because its what I missed at Regionals!)
Label the attached image! Tell whether it is right or left, and posterior or anterior, and how you know![attachment=0]humerusanterior1318391323541.jpg[/attachment]
