Summary
In contrast to the narrow terminal innervation bands of human skeletal muscles, the vocal muscle shows a particularly extended region of synaptic contacts. A great number of muscle fibres receive two or more motor endings forming individual endplates at a distance of several hundred micra. The physiological significance would be a more rapid activation.
