Motor neurons that innervate extrafusal muscle fibers are called:
Explanation
Alpha motor neurons (C) is the right choice. This sits at the heart of Neuron; Structure and Function: the wording points straight to what is happening in the tissue or organ system. A useful study habit is to ask what the structure or process is for: this is mainly a definition check, and Alpha motor neurons is the standard term or meaning used in Neuron; Structure and Function. That reasoning supports Alpha motor neurons. One solid sentence about why this works is enough for recall — you do not need a long essay for every MCQ. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Alpha motor neurons from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Neuron; Structure and Function.
