Several diseases attack the motor neurons that have cell bodies located in the anterior horn of the spinal column namely: amyotropic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophies, primary lateral sclerosis, and Kennedy's disease (see the linked article for more detail).

A chronic skin disease usually marked by itchy scaly red patches covered by silvery gray scales is known as?
psoriasis
What makes up the gray matter of the brain?
The cell bodies of neurons, primarily. Although there may be supporting cells called glial cells and small blood vessels called capillaries. This is as opposed to white matter which contains mainly myelinated axons and does not contain the cell bodies of neurons.
Why is brain called gray matter?
Brain tissue is called gray matter because it is gray.
What will a viral disease that destroys the cells of the anterior gray horn do?
This can lead to a number of neurlogical problems, including paralysis, post-polio syndrome (in the case of poliovirus attacking the anterior gray horn), and other symptoms.
Will a viral disease that destroy neuron cell bodies of the anterior gray horn lead to muscle weakness or paralysis?
Yes, a viral disease that destroys the neuron cell bodies in the anterior gray horn of the spinal cord can lead to muscle weakness or paralysis. The anterior gray horn is responsible for sending signals to the muscles, and if these neurons are destroyed, the muscles will not receive the necessary signals to contract properly, resulting in weakness or paralysis.
Which cells from the anterior gray horn are the only ones that terminate in skeletal muscle cells?
Axons from the anterior gray horn are the only ones that terminate in skeletal muscle cells. This principle of the final common path to skeletal muscles has important practical implications.
Are motor neuron cells bodies located in the gray or white matter of the spinal cord?
the white matter
Does anterior commisure consist of gray or white matter?
gray
What type of signal travels through the anterior gray horn?
The anterior gray horn is an element located in the spinal cord of animals. This element receives and responds to sensory impulses.
Are neurosomas of the anterior root located in the gray matter?
Yes
What type of Impulse thravels through the anterior gray horn?
motor
Where are cell bodies of motor neurons to skeletal muscles located?
anterior gray horns
Where is the Cell body of the motor neuron?
In the grey matter of the central nervous system anterior gray horns
What is gray matter where is it found?
Gray matter is what you call the nerve tissue in your brain because the cells are gray in color.
Is grey matter a disease of the brain like alzheimers?
Gray matter is a normal part of the brain, not a disease.
