Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of a muscle fiber: A muscle fiber is a single muscle cell, and it is the basic unit of a muscle's structure.

Learn about the neuromuscular junction: This is the site where a motor neuron communicates with a muscle fiber to initiate contraction.

Identify the role of a motor neuron: A motor neuron is responsible for transmitting signals from the nervous system to the muscle fiber, causing it to contract.

Recognize that each muscle fiber is typically innervated by a single motor neuron: This means that one motor neuron will connect to one muscle fiber at the neuromuscular junction.

Differentiate between motor and sensory neurons: Motor neurons carry signals to muscles, while sensory neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the nervous system. In this context, focus on the role of the motor neuron in muscle contraction.
