==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''motor neuron''' is a [[Specialised Cell|specialsed cell]] in the [[Nervous System|nervous system]] which [[transmit]]s an [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical impulse]] sent from the [[Central Nervous System|central nervous system]].

===About Motor Neurons===
: '''Motor neurons''' [[transmit]] the [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical impulse]] from the [[Relay Neuron|relay neurons]] in the [[Spinal Cord|spinal cord]] to [[effector]]s such as [[muscle]]s or [[gland]]s.

 ===About Motor Neurons===
 : '''Motor neurons''' [[transmit]] the [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical impulse]] from the [[Relay Neuron|relay neurons]] in the [[Spinal Cord|spinal cord]] to [[effector]]s such as [[muscle]]s or [[gland]]s.
+: The '''motor neuron''' receives an [[Impulse (Biology)|electrical impulse]] from the [[Relay Neuron|relay neuron]]. The [[Impulse (Biology)|impulse]] passes into the [[dendrite]]s, through the cell body, down the [[axon]] and to the [[synapse]] where the '''motor neuron''' connects to an [[effector]] (a [[muscle]] or a [[gland]]).
