What stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing?
Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme that stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing. This enzyme enables acetyl and choline to release their binding sites.
What is a motor neuron attached to?
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
What type of neuron connects to a muscle?
A motor or efferent neuron.
What motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates called?
the motor unit
Why is it that you got paralyzed when your spinal cord gets damaged?
first of all we all know that the spinal cord contains the the motor alfa that is the motor neuron that causes the muscle to contract,so when the spinal cord gets damaged no stimulation arrives to the muscles below the lesion level..
The combination of a neuron and the muscle fibers it associates with is called?
Motor unit = the single motor neuron and the multiple muscle fibers that it innervates.
Which type of muscle requires a motor neuron?
Skeletal muscle.
What is a motor unit is made up of?
Motor neurons and the muscle fibers they transmit signals toA motor unit is a collection of muscle fibers that contract as a single functional unit when stimulated by an impulse from a motor neuron. The actual size can vary greatly, from many large muscle fibers in the quadriceps muscle group per motor unit to just a few muscle fibers in the muscles of the fingers per motor unit.
What is the pathway of an impulse in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
A motor neuron together with the muscle fiber it innervates?
it is the motor unit
What messages do motor neuron send?
motor skills movement of muscle.
How is a skeletal muscle fiber stimulated by a motor neuron?
motor unitUnit
