Neurons that stimulate skeletal muscle fibers to contract are called
|
Voluntary Neurons
|
|
Neuronal Neurons
|
|
Motor Neurons
|
|
Involuntary Neurons

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Alpha motor neurons (also called lower motor neurons) innervate skeletal muscle and cause the muscle contractions that generate movement. Motor neurons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at a synapse called the neuromuscular junction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Motor neurones are cells in the brain and spinal cord that allow us to move, speak, swallow and breathe by sending commands from the brain to the muscles that carry out these functions. Their nerve fibers are the longest in the body, a single axon can stretch from the base of the spinal cord all the way to the toes.
