Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A neuron that connects the central nervous system and a muscle is called:
A
A motor neuron
B
A relay neuron
C
A sensory neuron
D
The spinal cord
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: -The somatic nervous system includes the somatic motor neurons, which innervate skeletal muscles. The SNS is under conscious control. Cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are in the CNS. Axons travel through peripheral nerves, innervating skeletal muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interneuron is the neuron that connects the sensory neuron and the motor neuron. They are present in the central nervous system. It collects sensory impulses and processess them to generates quick responses.
