nerve -fiber becomes continuous with the sarcolemma of the muscle- 

 fiber at the place where the neuraxis passes under the sarcolemma. 

 Henle's sheath continues over the motor ending as a thin sheath, 

 containing here and there flattened nuclei, the telolemma nuclei. 



With the majority of the reagents used to bring to view the 

 motor endings, notably chlorid of gold, the sarcoplasm, in which

the telodendrion of the nerve-fiber is found, has a granular appear- 

 ance, and is consequently differentiated from the remaining sarco- 

 plasm of the muscle-fiber. To this the term granular sole plate has 

 been applied, the nuclei contained therein being known as sole nuclei, 

 the whole ending as the motor end-plate. If the above interpreta-
