Motor neurons
Motor neurons send impulses to muscles to stimulate muscle contraction. Glands are typically innervated by autonomic neurons that regulate secretions like hormones and enzymes.
Motor neurons are the neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glandular epithelial tissue. These types of nerves are what make up the Autonomic nervous system, which regulates the bodies involuntary functions.
smooth muscle
Muscle tissue cannot conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to the other. Moreover, skeletal muscle tissue cannot even pass impulses between themselves and they should be stimulated by single branches of neurons. However, cardiac muscle cells has the unique ability to conduct impulses between themselves through gap junctions.
Motor neurons are neurons which carry impulses from the Central Nervous System to muscles or glands. When an action potential is conducted by a motor neuron a muscle contracts or a product is released from a gland.
Ability to conduct impulses along the muscle membrane.
Motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, resulting in a response such as muscle contraction or secretion of a substance. The direction of impulse for motor neurons is typically from the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) to the target muscle or gland.
Autonomic motor neurons are a part of the autonomic nervous system that controls involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, breathing, and digestion. These neurons innervate smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands to regulate physiological processes without conscious effort. They are classified as sympathetic or parasympathetic, with each division having opposing effects on the body.
Impulses passed from motor neurons release neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction. This leads to the stimulation of muscle fibers and ultimately results in muscle contraction.
