Skeletal muscles are controlled by motor neurons in the somatic branch of the peripheral nervous system, which is controlled by the central nervous system.
Neurons that carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to skeletal muscles are known as somatic motor neurons. These neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of the body by transmitting signals that stimulate muscle contractions.
Efferent motor neurons stimulate muscle contractions.
no
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) motor neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of skeletal muscles. They receive signals from the central nervous system (CNS) and transmit them to the muscles to initiate movement. PNS motor neurons are essential for activities like walking, talking, and grabbing objects.
in the CNS
A neurotransmitter is released by neurons in order to signal other neurons, muscles, or glands.neurotransmittersneurotransmitters
Skeletal and smooth muscles contract or relax in response to nerve impulses that stimulate their muscle fibers. In skeletal muscles, motor neurons release neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, triggering contractions. Smooth muscles, which are involuntary, respond to autonomic nervous system signals and various hormones. This process allows for coordinated movements and functions throughout the body.
The motor nerve cells control the skeletal muscle
The part of the peripheral nervous system that helps you walk includes the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary movements of skeletal muscles. Motor neurons transmit signals from the spinal cord to the leg muscles, allowing for coordinated movements essential for walking. Additionally, sensory neurons provide feedback from the muscles and joints to help maintain balance and posture during movement.
false
Motor neurons send impulses to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. Glands are typically innervated by autonomic neurons that regulate secretions like hormones and enzymes.
