Neuromuscular junction
sensory neurones
A single motor neuron will innervate many muscle cells
Each muscle cell is only innervated by a single motor neuron, but each motor neuron innervates any number of muscle cells. When an action potential travels down the axon of an alpha motor neuron, it will depolarize several muscle cells at the same time, a phenomenon known as summation.
This type of nerve is called an efferent autonomic neuron.
Terminal branches (aka end brushes) are at the end of a Motor Nerve (aka Efferent Nerve) and are in very close proximity to the muscle fibers.
motor end plate
sensory neurones
a motor neuron together with the muscle fibers (cell) it stimulates.

A neuromuscular junction.

arrector pili muscle cell
via chemicals called neurotransmitters, expressed at sites called synapses, which are tiny gaps between a neuron and another neuron or a muscle cell.
This type of nerve is called an efferent autonomic neuron.
Terminal branches (aka end brushes) are at the end of a Motor Nerve (aka Efferent Nerve) and are in very close proximity to the muscle fibers.
No it is not a cell. It is a cell organelle.
The motor neuron cells are all in the brain and the spinal cord.
