Skeletal muscle fiber is controlled by a motor neuron at a single?

Each muscle cell is only innervated by a single motor neuron, but each motor neuron innervates any number of muscle cells. When an action potential travels down the axon of an alpha motor neuron, it will depolarize several muscle cells at the same time, a phenomenon known as summation.

Can a single motor neuron for synapses with just one muscle cell?
A single motor neuron will innervate many muscle cells
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.
What tissue has one nucleus?
Smooth muscle tissue has a single nucleus in each cell :)
The all-or-none law applies to skeletal muscle function at what level?
a single muscle cell :)
The response of a motor unit to a single action potential of its motor neuron is called?
muscle twitch
Each skeletal muscle fiber is controlled by a motor neuron at a single?
neuromuscular junction
What motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates called?
the motor unit
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.
Is the neck muscle a skeletal muscle?
Yes, neck muscle is a skeletal muscle.There is no single neck muscle, however, all the muscles in the neck are skeletal.
Why is there less precise control over leg muscles over eye muscles?
many muscle fibers are controlled by a single motor neuron

Which a has a single nucleus in each cell skeletal cardiac or smooth muscle tissue?
Smooth muscle tissue.
Does muscle tissue conduct nerve impulses from one neuron to another and coordinates body activity?
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.
What is the relationship between the number of motor neurons recruited and the number of skeletal muscle fibers innervated?
Typically, hundreds of skeletal muscle fibers are innervated by a single motor neuron.Completed
