Motor neurons stimulate muscles to contract.

A motor neuron is a nerve cell that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle or gland.

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.
