The correct answer is option A, an asteroid hitting the earth

Reason -

The extinction event of Cretaceous is considered as a mass extinction process in which near about 3/4th of the species on planet earth became extinct. The researches conducted (found in geologic record) to study the cause of this massive extinction event,  revealed presence of  iridium metal on the Earth crust which is a rare metal and is usually found in the asteroids or comets. Thus,  hitting of planet earth by the asteroids or comets can be considered as a cause of this massive extinction.

What is the indented region of the sarcolemma that participates in the neuromuscular junction called?.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Motor end plate  is the indented region of the sarcolemma that participates in the neuromuscular junction.

The extensive spectrum of illnesses that affect the peripheral nervous system, which is made up of all the motor and sensory nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, includes neuromuscular disorders. These illnesses are characterized mostly by progressive muscular weakening.

A gene mutation or an inherited condition can both result in neuromuscular disorders; immune system issues can also contribute to several of these conditions.

One of the most debilitating conditions that impact nerve system and muscle function is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which results in the gradual degradation of nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain. No senses are impacted with ALS (such as seeing or hearing). In most cases, it has little impact on mental capabilities. It's not spreadable. There isn't a treatment for this illness as of now.
