A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
Neuromuscular
The synapse, or connection, between a neuron and striated muscle is typically a chemical one called the neuromuscular junction. The pre-synaptic terminus coming from the neuron releases acetylcholine (ACh) which triggers an opening of the ionic channels on the muscle side. The depolarization triggers calcium entry into the cytosol of the muscle and contraction.

No.
A motor or efferent neuron.
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.
Mature human neuron cells communicate with muscle cells through a connection called a synapse. Neurons release chemical signals called neurotransmitters, which stimulate muscle cells to contract or relax, allowing for movement and coordination in the body.
A motor unit consists of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it controls. The motor neuron sends signals to the muscle fibers to contract, while the motor unit refers to the combination of the neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates.
The point where a nerve fiber connects to a muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction. This connection allows the nerve signal, or action potential, to be transmitted from the nerve to the muscle cell, triggering muscle contraction.
