A) Sensory neurons stimulate muscles to contract.
B) There are very few blood vessels in skeletal muscle.
C) Every muscle fiber receives a branch of an axon from the nerve.
D) There are very few nerve fibers in a muscle.
E) All of the choices are true.

Skeletal Muscle

A type of muscle that is connected to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements of the body.

Sensory Neurons

Nerve cells that transmit sensory information (e.g., touch, sound, visual) from the body to the central nervous system for interpretation.

Axon

A long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Every muscle fiber in skeletal muscle receives a branch of an axon from a motor neuron, which is essential for initiating muscle contraction. This direct innervation ensures precise control and coordination of muscle fibers.
