Skeletal muscles are controlled by what type of neuron?

• A. Motor neurons
• B. Autonomic neurons
• C. Sensory neurons
• D. Interneurons

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the role of each type of neuron: Motor neurons, Autonomic neurons, Sensory neurons, and Interneurons.
2. Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles, causing them to contract.
3. Autonomic neurons control involuntary functions and are not directly involved in controlling skeletal muscles.
4. Sensory neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system and do not control muscle movement.
5. Interneurons are involved in processing information within the central nervous system and do not directly control skeletal muscles.
