The motor neurons are responsible in skeletal muscle movement.

norepinephrine
The motor nerve cells control the skeletal muscle
Typically, hundreds of skeletal muscle fibers are innervated by a single motor neuron.Completed
A nueromusculator junction
Acetylcholine is the excitatory neurotransmitter released by neurons innervating skeletal muscles. Acetylcholine release stimulates muscle contraction by acting at the nicotinic-acetylcholine receptor on the surface of the muscle cell.
Because muscle cells can only contract, not extend, skeletal muscles most work in pairs. While one muscle contracts, the other muscle in the pair relaxes to its original length.
When you decide to move, an electrical signal called an action potential is generated in your brain. This signal travels along your neurons and reaches the skeletal muscle cells via motor neurons. At the neuromuscular junction, a chemical called acetylcholine is released, which stimulates the muscle fibers to contract and initiate movement.
