Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Motor neurons are responsible for the stimulation of skeletal muscle contraction. These contractions initiate when a nerve impulse provides a stimulus to the muscle fiber. One motor neuron controls one muscle fiber. The impulse is transmitted at the neuromuscular junction.

What type of motor neuron stimulates skeletal muscle fibers to contract by the excitation-contraction mechanism? a. interneuron b. α-motor neuron c. γ-motor neuron d. upper motor neuron
What happens at a neuromuscular junction?a. An electrical impulse causes the release of a chemical.b. Acetylcholine is released by the muscle cell.c. Acetylcholinesterase is released from the nerve cell.d. A neurotransmitter is released.e. Acetylcholine fits into receptors on the muscle cell.
When neurotransmitters contact a muscle cell's receptor proteins, those receptors change their shape and let ions go through the membrane.

A. voltage sensitive channels
B. tension-sensitive channels
C. ligand-activated channels
