Where is the motor neuron located?
The motor neuron cells are all in the brain and the spinal cord.
How are the functions of the brain and spinal cord different?
There is upper motor neuron in spinal cord. There is lower motor neuron in the spinal nerve.
Do lower motor neurons have their cell bodies in the brain and their axons in the ganglia?
brain and spinal cord
What is the result when a virus destroys the motor neurons in the spinal cord or brain?
It depends on what part of the brain or spinal cord. If it is in the brain it can cause death or complete paralysis, if it is in the spinal cord e.g. Lower part of the spinal cord you are paralysed from the hips down.
What is the disease that destroys the motor neurons in the brain or spinal cord?
Poliomyelitis
How do sensory neurons and motor neurons act in opposite ways?
Sensory neurons carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and the spinal cord . Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands.
Where does the spinal cord have gray matter?
The grey matter on a spinal cord is on the spinal roots.
What are the two pathways by which messages are transmitted?
1 sensory organ - sensory nerves - spinal cord - brain 2 brain - motor nerves - spinal cord - muscles
Spinal reflexes are produced in what?
Introduction. Spinal cord reflexes are simple behaviors produced by central nervous system (CNS) pathways that lie entirely within the spinal cord. The sensory afferent fibers that evoke these reflexes enter the spinal cord and activate spinal motor neurons directly or through a chain of one or more spinal interneurons
Does the brainstem contain centers for speech and motor?
No, those are in the brain. The Brain Stem and the Spinal Cord are for reflexes and transmitting nervous messages to the brain.
As opposed to the upper motor neurons the lower motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the?
spinal cord as opposed to the brain
What function do the motor neurons play in the nervous system?
Motor neurons send messages from the brain or spinal cord to the body.
