Which cell gets an impulse from the brain to the muscles in order to respond to a situation?
A
sensory neuron
B
motor neuron
C
axon neuron
D
dendrite neuron
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Alpha motor neurons (also called lower motor neurons) innervate skeletal muscle and cause the muscle contractions that generate movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons carry messages from the brain via the spinal cord. The neurons that carry these messages to the muscles are called motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reason: Motor neurons conduct nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurons are the nerve cells that transmit impulses. Supporting cells are neuroglia. The three components of a neuron are a cell body or soma, one or more afferent processes called dendrites, and a single efferent process called an axon. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cells in nervous tissue that generate and conduct impulses are called neurons or nerve cells. These cells have three principal parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and one axon.
