Somatic Motor Neurons

Question

Somatic motor neurons
A) connect the spinal cord to the effector organ with only one neuron
B) produce epinephrine as their neurotransmitter
C) synapse at the collateral ganglion
D) both A and B

Accepted Answer

Somatic motor neurons connect the spinal cord to the effector organ with only one neuron. They release acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter, not epinephrine. Collateral ganglia are part of the autonomic nervous system, not the somatic motor system.
