∙ 13y agoMotor neurons control the actions of the skeletal muscles, glands, and other organs of the body.
Simple answer:
Motor neurons supply the signals required for muscle contraction. Receiving input from the central nervous system and delivering the appropriate output to the muscle at the muscle end plate.

∙ 9y agoThe main function of a motor neuron is to convey output signals to muscles for joint control. This involves 'upper motor neurons' in the brain relaying signals to 'lower motor neurons' in the spinal cord, which in turn relay signals to skeletal muscles for joint control. Lower motor neurons are also involved in sympathetic function, such as blood pressure regulation.

∙ 9y agoA motor neuron is a nerve cell that originates in the motor region of the brain stem. Its main function is to transmit impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland or other tissues.

What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
What is the function of a gamma motor neuron?
It is a ray of radiation. conducts muscle movement.
The main symptom of upper motor neuron syndrome is?
spastic paralysis
What kind of cell perform the main function of the nervous system?
neuron
What is the main function of a connecting neuron?
To take the signal from the sensory neurons to the motor neurons or other integrative neurons
What is the function of relay neuron?
A relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord then to the brain.
In humans one function of an interneuron is to relay impulses directly from?
a sensory neuron to a motor neuron
What is the function of a cytoplasm in a motos neuron?
Main function is to transport materials .
What is mixed neuron?
Mixed nerve is a nerve that carry all the motor function, sensory function and the autonomic function in a single fiber. Spinal nerve is the example of the mixed nerve. Some of the Cranial nerve on the other hand is not the mixed nerve as it only has one property which is either sensory or motor function. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=spinal+nerve&gwp=13
What is the function of a relay neron?
transmission of nerve impulses from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron,located in the central nervous system.
What is the function of a gamma motor neuron?
It is a ray of radiation. conducts muscle movement.
What is the main part of the of a neuron?
It depends on what you mean by 'main'. The AXON is the part which CONVEYS the neural impulse, which could be thought of as the main FUNCTION of the neuron. But the DENDRITES are the parts which assess whether the neuron has been stimulated enough to fire the axon, which is another fundamental function of some neurons. And the BODY (soma) of the neuron is very much a 'main' part of the neuron, because without it the neuron would die.
The main symptom of upper motor neuron syndrome is?
spastic paralysis
What are the function of motor neuron?
The function is to catch/take impulses from the central nervous system and send it to muscles and glands
Dendrites function in the motor neuron?
To carry the nerve impulse from the CNS to the cell body
What is the main function of axons?
to carry the message in the neuron away from the dendrite.
What kind of cell perform the main function of the nervous system?
neuron
