Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The motor neurons initiate voluntary movement throughout the body by connecting the cerebral cortex to the brain stem and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-2: -Individual alpha motor neurons control the force exerted by a particular muscle, and spinal circuits can control sophisticated and complex behaviors such as walking and reflex actions. The types of movements controlled by these circuits are not initiated consciously, however.

Detailed explanation-3: -Motor neurons (MNs) are neuronal cells located in the central nervous system (CNS) controlling a variety of downstream targets. There are two main types of MNs, (i) upper MNs that originate from the cerebral cortex and (ii) lower MNs that are located in the brainstem and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-4: -Motor nerves carry signals to your muscles or glands to help you move and function.
