Is it the motor neurons that responsible for interpreting movement of muscles like walking running?

You're in the middle of a meeting at work, but your mind keeps drifting to the parent-teacher conference you have tonight ... and the car you have to pick up at the shop on the way home ... and how you wish you hadn't skipped lunch because the rumbling in your stomach is driving you nuts. Then, suddenly, you're back in the moment, hoping nobody noticed your brief "departure."
It may seem as if your brain is always on the go. And it is. The brain not only controls what you think and feel, how you learn and remember, and the way you move and talk, but also many things you're less aware of - such as the beating of your heart, the digestion of your food, and yes, even the amount of stress you feel. Like you, your brain is quite the juggler.

What are motor neurons?
Motor neurons are neurons which carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to muscles or glands. When an action potential is conducted by a motor neuron a muscle contracts or a product is released from a gland.
Cells responsible for body movement are?
neurons
Why are lower motor neurons referred as the finals pathway?
Lower motor neurons are referred to as the final pathway because they are the last stage in the neural circuitry that conveys motor commands from the central nervous system to the muscles. They directly innervate the muscles and are responsible for initiating muscle contraction and generating movement.
What components of nerves are involved in skeletal muscle movement?
The motor neurons are responsible in skeletal muscle movement.
Which type of neuron conveys messages from your brain and spinal chord to your muscles for movement?
multipolar or motor neurons
What kind of cells are responsible for movement in animals?
Striped muscular cells with sacromeres and motor neurons.
What is the difference between the the motor neuron and the sensory neuron based on their function?
Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, allowing for voluntary movement or secretion. On the other hand, sensory neurons detect information from the external environment or the body and transmit it to the central nervous system, enabling us to perceive sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, pain, or sound. In summary, motor neurons control movement and actions, while sensory neurons provide information about the external world to the brain.
Neurons communicate with other neurons and stimulate both?
muscles and glands.
What kind of neuron sends a message from the brain to the muscles in a persons arm to control the movement involved in putting clothes on?
There are basically two kinds of neurons- sensory and motor. Motor neurons are responsible for passing on messages from the brain, to the effector muscles, while performing a voluntary action (they also do that for involuntary actions) Sensory neurons on the other hand, detect a stimulus, and pass on the message to the brain, which analyses the information, decides the course of action, and passes on the message back through the motor neuron, to the effector muscles.
Movement of arms and legs what major neurotransmitter involved?
Skeletal muscles move via action potential that is conducted by axons to the neuromuscular junction and across the synaptic gaps of efferent motor neurons. The main neurotransmitter responsible for this job is acetylcholine.
What is the medical term meaning chemicals released by neurons that stimulate other neurons muscles or glands?
A neurotransmitter is released by neurons in order to signal other neurons, muscles, or glands.neurotransmittersneurotransmitters
Do muscles send brain messages?
That last answer was wrong because neurons send messages from muscles. The system that does this is called the nervous system. It's a system made up of neurons NOT nerves. There are tons of different neurons, but the three main neurons include sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Motor neurons interact with muscles.
