Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z This triggers an action potential, which travels along the sensory fiber from the skin, through the dorsal spinal root to the spinal cord, and directly activates a ventral horn motor neuron. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The lower motor neurons, which are responsible for the contraction of these muscles, are found in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The motor neurons that tell the skeletal muscle fibers to contract originate in the spinal cord, with a smaller number located in the brainstem for activation of skeletal muscles of the face, head, and neck. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z Together, the motor neuron and all the muscle fibers that it controls make up a motor unit. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The synaptic end bulbs of the motor neurons secrete acetylcholine, which binds to receptors on the sarcolemma. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z Instead the motor neuron needs to “quiet down,” or be inhibited. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z This is done by releasing a neurotransmitter or other signal that hyperpolarizes the motor neuron connected to the triceps brachii, making it less likely to initiate an action potential. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z Signaling begins when a neuronal action potential travels along the axon of a motor neuron, and then along the individual branches to terminate at the NMJ. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z An inhibitory interneuron, activated by a collateral branch of the nociceptor fiber, will inhibit the motor neurons of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to cancel plantar flexion. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The output of a somatic reflex is the lower motor neuron in the ventral horn of the spinal cord that projects directly to a skeletal muscle to cause its contraction. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z In the white matter, the dorsal column relays sensory information to the brain, and the anterior column is almost exclusively relaying motor commands to the ventral horn motor neurons. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z Input to the muscles comes from the descending cortical input of upper motor neurons and the direct innervation of lower motor neurons. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z If the frequency of motor neuron signaling increases, summation and subsequent muscle tension in the motor unit continues to rise until it reaches a peak point. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The output from the cortex causes activity in motor neurons in the brain stem that cause movement of the extraocular muscles through the third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerves. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z These lower motor neurons are the cells that connect to skeletal muscle and cause contractions. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z One motor neuron connects to multiple muscle fibers within a target muscle. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The number of fibers that are innervated by a single motor neuron varies on the basis of the precision necessary for that muscle and the amount of force necessary for that motor unit. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z It is believed that treppe results from a higher concentration of Ca++ in the sarcoplasm resulting from the steady stream of signals from the motor neuron. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The extraocular muscles have only a small number of fibers controlled by each motor neuron because moving the eyes does not require much force, but needs to be very precise. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z The conscious movement of our muscles is more complicated than simply sending a single command from the precentral gyrus down to the proper motor neurons. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z A collateral of the muscle spindle fiber will also inhibit the motor neuron of the antagonist muscles. Anatomy and Physiology 2013-06-19T00:00:00Z In addition, the respiratory centers of the brain may be stimulated through the activation of motor neurons that innervate muscle groups that are involved in the physical activity.
