27 wrz 2023 · Motor neurons (also referred to as efferent neurons) are the nerve cells responsible for carrying signals away from the central nervous system towards muscles to cause movement. They release neurotransmitters to trigger responses leading to muscle movement.
13 maj 2020 · A motor neuron is a cell of the central nervous system. Motor neurons transmit signals to muscle cells or glands to control their functional output. When these cells are damaged in some way, motor neuron disease can arise. This is characterized by muscle wasting (atrophy) and loss of motor function. Motor Neuron.
A motor neuron (or motoneuron or efferent neuron [1]) is a neuron whose cell body is located in the motor cortex, brainstem or the spinal cord, and whose axon (fiber) projects to the spinal cord or outside of the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands.

30 paź 2023 · Motor neurons, also known as efferent neurons, are nerve cells responsible for carrying central nervous system signals towards muscles to cause voluntary or involuntary movement through the innervation of effector muscles and glands.
Motor neurons divided into either upper or lower motor neurones, forming various tightly controlled, complex circuits throughout the body. This controls both voluntary and involuntary movements through the innervation of effector muscles and glands.
24 lip 2023 · There are three broad types of lower motor neurons: somatic motor neurons, special visceral efferent (branchial) motor neurons, and general visceral motor neurons. [1] Somatic motor neurons are in the brainstem and further divide into three categories: alpha, beta, and gamma.
1 sie 2011 · By definition the motor system is the output of the central nervous system and it controls both the somatic system of skeletal muscle for producing behavior, and the visceral system for regulating bodily vital functions. For this there are three different motor subsystems that are quite distinct in terms of network organization and function.
