Different motor unit types exhibit different size and complexity of presynaptic axon terminal (red) and postsynaptic acetylcholine receptor (green) structures. Note that neuromuscular junctions of type IIx and/or IIb muscle fibers are markedly larger and more complex compared to neuromuscular junctions of type I or IIa muscle fibers.
