spinal cortex & motor cortex Flashcards
what is the motor unit?
group of skeletal muscle fibres & 1 somatic motor neuron that control them
composed of the motor neuron & all muscle cell that it innervates
Motor neuron pool
Group of motor neurons that innervate a single muscle
The cell bodies of neurons in each pool are aggregated into cluster running lengthwise
Lower motor neurons are located in__.
ventral spinal cord
Sensory info ____ the spinal cord via ___
Enter; Dorsal root背部
Motor neuron ___ the spinal cord via ___
Leaves; ventral root前部
Extrafusal muscle fibres
normal contractile fibre
Alpha motor neuron
Innervates extrafusal muscle fibre (contraction)
Gamma motor neuron
Innervates intrafusal muscle fibre (contraction)
Both alpha & gamma motor neuron
Give constant feedback about the length of our muscles during both muscle stretch and contraction
Stretching muscle spinal/intrafusal muscle fibre
Infor send from muscle spindles to CNS via 1a afferent neurons
Golgi Tendon Organ
Links muscle & tendon
Sensory receptor that sends info to the CNS about muscle tension
