Verified step by step guidance

Understand the components involved: A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits signals from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle, causing it to contract.

Recognize the term 'innervates': This refers to the supply of nerves to a specific body part, in this case, muscle fibers.

Identify the relationship: A motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates work together to produce movement.

Define the term 'motor unit': A motor unit is the combination of a single motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates, functioning as a single unit to produce muscle contraction.

Differentiate from other terms: Sarcomere is the basic contractile unit of muscle fiber, neuromuscular junction is the synapse between a motor neuron and muscle fiber, and myofibril is a component of muscle fibers containing sarcomeres.
