C

D
impulse
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons which carry impulses to muscles or glands from the brain are called motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -neuron types A motor neuron transmits impulses from a central area of the nervous system to an effector, such as a muscle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The neurotransmitter released in the neuromuscular junction is called acetylcholine. Just like in neurons, the binding of acetylcholine causes channels to open in the muscle cell, allowing ions to flood into the muscle [3]. This electrical message causes the muscle to contract or shorten.
