All the muscle fibers under the control of a single motor axon are referred to as Motor Unit. A motor unit is made up of a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fibers stimulated by that motor neuron's axonal terminals. Groups of motor units often work together to organize the contractions of a single muscle.
