Define motor unit?
a motor neuron together with the muscle fibers (cell) it stimulates.
What consists of a somatic motor neuron plus all the skeletal muscle fibers it stimulates?
motor unit
What motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates called?
the motor unit
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 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.
A motor neuron transmits signals to?
Muscle fibers
Once a motor neuron has fired all the muscle fibers in a muscle contract.?
False
Once a motor neuron has fired all the muscle fibers in a muscle contract?
False
What happens at the level of the neuron starting with stimulus and ending with a response?
The stimulus is detected by the sensory receptor. The sensory receptor stimulates a sensory neuron. The sensory neuron transmits to the interneuron in the spinal cord. The interneuron stimulates a motor neuron. The motor neuron communicates to the muscle. The muscle(effector) then produces the response allowing the body to respond to the stimulus.
What refers to one neuron and all skeletal muscle cells it stimulates?
Motor unit
How many muscle fibers stimulate one somatic motor neuron?
150
A motor neuron and all the muscle cells that is stimulates are referred to as a motor and plate?
false, it would be a motor unit.
