They inhibit the transmission of pain signals; they also produce a feeling of euphoria very similar to the ones produced by other opioids.

Answer:

The correct answer is "motor unit - motor neuron".

Explanation:

Motor unit and motor neuron are related terms, however they could not be used interchangeably because a motor unit is not comprised only of a motor neuron. A motor unit is made of a motor neuron, skeletal muscle fibers and neuron's axonal terminals. Therefore motor unit is a more broadly term, and is referred to the units that coordinate the contractions of single muscles.
