Motor neurons stimulate muscles to contract.
Explanation:
A motor neuron is a nerve cell that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle or gland.
(From www.rtmsd.org)
The motor neuron is attached to the muscle fibre at a neuromuscular junction or synapse.
The transmission of a nerve impulse to the synapse causes the muscle fibres contract.
