Acetylcholine
Alpha-Motor neurons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at a synapse called the neuromuscular junction. When the acetylcholine binds to acetylcholine receptors on the muscle fiber, an action potential is propagated along the muscle fiber in both directions.
s the neurotransmitter most closely linked to learning that certain behaviors are rewarding.
All skeletal muscles in the body must be supplied by somatic motor nerves. These nerves carry signals from the brain to the muscles, controlling voluntary movements.
The first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway is called a preganglionic neuron. It originates in the central nervous system and synapses with a postganglionic neuron in an autonomic ganglion.
An autonomic reflex arc is similar to the somatic kind, but differs principally in the motor output side. The sensory side is similar in that a transducer sends a signal via a nerve fiber into the CNS. As with the somatic arc, this sensory fiber is associated with a pseudo-unipolar neuron in a craniospinal ganglion, usually one of the dorsal root ganglia. In the autonomic arc, the sensory transducer is often located in or associated with visceral organs.
Acetylcholine
yes
Acetylcholine (ACh) is the only neurotransmitter used in the motor division of the somatic nervous system. It works by binding to acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscle fibers and opening ligand-gated sodium channels in the cell membrane.

Yes, conduction through the autonomic efferent chain is generally slower than conduction through the somatic motor system. This is because the autonomic nervous system involves two neurons in the pathway (preganglionic and postganglionic), which introduces a delay in signal transmission compared to the direct pathway in the somatic motor system with only one neuron.
The basic "principal" behind somatic motor pathways is a pathway from your "brain" or regions in or near the brain where nerve impluses travel from and go to skeletal muscle to cause a muscle contraction. (It's complicated, but doesn't get any more basic than this) -Jordan Bourne
The effector for somatic motor stimulation is the skeletal muscle. Somatic motor neurons innervate these muscles, leading to voluntary movements. The motor unit, consisting of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates, is responsible for muscle contraction in response to somatic motor stimulation.

The somatic motor cortex is located in the human brain. It can be found in the posterior portion of the frontal lobe.
in the CNS
Damage to somatic motor neurons would not impair micturition, as micturition is primarily controlled by autonomic motor neurons. Somatic motor neurons control voluntary muscle movements, while autonomic motor neurons control involuntary functions like bladder contractions during micturition.
The neurotransmitter released at motor end plates by motor neurons is acetylcholine. It binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction.
