WHAT DOES MOTONEURON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Motor neuron

A motor neuron is a nerve cell that originates in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or the brain stem, whose cell body is located in the spinal cord and whose fiber projects outside the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control muscles. Motor neurons are efferent nerves, that carry signals from the spinal cord to the muscles to produce movement. Examples of motor neurons are primary motor neurons, alpha motor neurons, beta motor neurons and gamma motor neurons. A single motor neuron may innervate many muscle fibres, and a muscle fibre can undergo many action potentials in the time taken for a single muscle twitch. As a result, if an action potential arrives before a twitch has completed, the twitches can superimpose on one another, either through summation or tetanus. In summation, the muscle is stimulated repetitively such that additional action potentials coming from the somatic nervous system arrive before the end of the twitch. The twitches thus superimpose on one another, leading to a force greater than that of a single twitch.
