What else can I help you with?
Would damage to somatic motor neurons impair micturition?
Damage to somatic motor neurons would not impair micturition, as micturition is primarily controlled by autonomic motor neurons. Somatic motor neurons control voluntary muscle movements, while autonomic motor neurons control involuntary functions like bladder contractions during micturition.
The neurotransmitter released by somatic motor neurons is?
Acetylcholine
What is the name of a neuron that transmits a neural impulse from the central nervous system through the spinal cord to a muscle?
The neuron that transmits a signal from the nervous system to an effector is a motor neuron.
What is the neurotransmitter in a somatic motor pathway?
The neurotransmitter in a somatic motor pathway is acetylcholine. It is released by motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle contraction.
Are smooth muscle reflexes somatic?
No, they are visceral and from the efferent or motor neurons.
Which nervous system contains all the sensory neurons and all the voluntary motor neurons?
A somatic system
Where are located peripheral motor neuron cell bodies?
For spinal nerves, the general somatic efferent motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (sometimes also called the anterior horn).Some of your cranial nerves also have motor neurons located in various nuclei of the brainstem.
What structure is the effector for the somatic motor stimulation?
The effector for somatic motor stimulation is the skeletal muscle. Somatic motor neurons innervate these muscles, leading to voluntary movements. The motor unit, consisting of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates, is responsible for muscle contraction in response to somatic motor stimulation.
Is acetylcholine the substance released by the axon terminals of both somatic motor neurons and postganglionic parasympathetic neurons?
Yes, acetylcholine is the substance released by the axon terminals of both somatic motor neurons and postganglionic parasympathetic neurons. In the somatic nervous system, acetylcholine is released at the neuromuscular junction, while in the parasympathetic nervous system, it is released at synapses with target organs.
Neurons that carry signals from the CNS to skeletal are part?
Neurons that carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to skeletal muscles are known as somatic motor neurons. These neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of the body by transmitting signals that stimulate muscle contractions.
Where are somatic neurons located?
in the CNS
Where are cell bodies of motor neurons to skeletal muscles located?
Motor neurons to skeletal muscles have cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. These cell bodies send signals through their axons to control muscle movement and are part of the somatic nervous system.
