Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released by motor neurons that results in movement of the voluntary muscles. This neurotransmitter interacts with receptors on the surface of skeletal muscle fibers, causing them to contract. Endorphins are involved in pain relief, monoamines include neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, but are not directly involved in movement.
