How Do Nerves Activate Muscle
Motor nerves release acetylcholine to make skeletal muscle contract. Activation of acetylcholine receptors in muscle causes ionic flux that ends with muscle contraction.

Lou Gehrig's Disease
The development of Lou Gehrig's disease, a disease of the motor neurons, leads to progressive disability as neural control of the skeletal muscles of the body is lost.
