Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of different types of neurons: Sensory neurons carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system, motor neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, bipolar neurons are involved in sensory pathways, and interneurons connect neurons within the central nervous system.

Identify the function of motor neurons: Motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles, causing them to contract.

Recognize the term 'innervate': In the context of anatomy, to innervate means to supply an organ or a body part with nerves. When a neuron innervates a muscle, it means it is providing the nerve supply necessary for muscle contraction.

Connect the concept of innervation to motor neurons: Since motor neurons are responsible for sending signals to muscles, they are the type of neuron that directly innervates muscles.

Conclude that motor neurons are the correct type of neuron that directly innervates a muscle, as they are responsible for initiating muscle contraction through nerve impulses.
