Often, a disorder of the motor neurons results in progressive muscle atrophy (shrinking and wasting) of some, if not all, the muscles of the body. Muscle twitching (fasciculation) is common among these disorders

What happens if motor neurons are damaged?
Motor neuron involve the muscles. If they are damaged, then the muscle that they are connected to will not work.
What is A neuron that can cause muscles to contract?
Efferent motor neurons stimulate muscle contractions.
What do motor neurones do?
Motor neurons are a part of the nervous system that make muscles move.
Do motor neurons send impulses to muscles or glands?
muscles
Muscles receive messages from?
motor neurons.
Do muscles send brain messages?
That last answer was wrong because neurons send messages from muscles. The system that does this is called the nervous system. It's a system made up of neurons NOT nerves. There are tons of different neurons, but the three main neurons include sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. Motor neurons interact with muscles.
Where do motor neurons send their signals?
The muscles and the brain
What type neuron is found in the ventral root?
This area contains motor neurons that affect the axial muscles.
Why the polio virus often causes paralysis of the muscles?
poliovirus invades the nerve cells of the spinal cord and kills the motor neurons. When the motor neurons are destroyed, the muscles they connect to become damaged and weaken. The result is varying degrees of paralysis, including difficulty swallowing
What do PNS motor neurons do?
These neurons connect the CNS to various muscles and glands throughout the body.
What stimualtes muscles?
Muscles are stimulated by signals from nerve cells called motor neurons
What is the cell in muscles that receives messages from motor neurons?
There is a special cell in our body that is part of the nervous system. It receives messages in the muscles sent from the motor neurons in our brain. These cells are called effectors.
