Muscular movement is caused by the contraction Actin and Myosin grids. This is stimulated Motorneurones (Efferent neurones is also a commonly used term which means neurones traveling away from the CNS). The motor neurones can be one of two kinds, determined only by their targets as they have no structural difference, Somatic Motor or Autonomic Motor. Somatic motor neurones are the ones that innervate the Skeletal Muscle and are thus under Voluntary Control. This is the type of muscle most people will think of if they heard you question and so it is concievable that the autonomic motor neurones will be overlooked. These neurones control the Smoothe Muscle, like the organs within the body, and as it would take too much concentration to actively control all your bodily functions these are not under voluntary control. In short the general term used to describe a neurone that stimulates muscular contraction is called a motor neurone, or more specifically Somatic Motor Neuron or Autonomic Motor Neurone.
motor nutrons
Striped muscular cells with sacromeres and motor neurons.
Charles Norris discovered spinal muscular atrophy in 1958. While he was experimenting with lettuce, he noticed than SMN neurons flowing through the vegetable caused loss of motor function, which left the lettuce deformed.
The muscular movement of the intestinal canal is called peristalsis.
No, there are four types of tissue; muscular, epithelial, connective and nervous tissue. Neurons are categorised in the nervous tissue.
muscular system
The nervous system coordinates the interaction between the skeletal and muscular systems to produce movement and locomotion. Motor neurons in the nervous system send signals to the muscles, which then contract and move the bones of the skeletal system.
The Muscular System.
Movement is the main function
The main function of the muscular system is to allow movement.
Movement
Motor neurons manufacture neurotransmitters, specifically acetylcholine, which is responsible for transmitting signals from the neurons to muscles, enabling movement.
