The Neurons That Stimulate Muscle Contraction are Called ________ Neurons

Question

The neurons that stimulate muscle contraction are called ________ neurons.
A) sensory
B) contractile
C) inhibitory
D) motor
E) association

Accepted Answer

Motor neurons are responsible for stimulating muscle contraction. They transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles, causing them to contract. Sensory neurons, on the other hand, transmit signals from sensory receptors in the body to the central nervous system, while inhibitory and association neurons play a role in regulating and modulating neuronal activity. Contractile neurons are not a recognized type of neuron.
