A neuron that conveys impulses initiating muscle contraction or glandular secretion.
A nerve cell which conducts impulses from the central nervous system to a group of muscle fibers to produce movement.
a type of neuron that transmits impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands.
A nerve cell whose cell body is located in the brain and spinal cord and whose axons leave the central nervous system by way of cranial nerves or spinal roots. Motor neuron supply information to muscle. A motor unit is the combination of the motor neuron and the set of muscle fibers it innervates.
Neuron that sends neural signals to muscles or glands, see also Sensory neuron, Interneuron
a neuron conducting impulses outwards from the brain or spinal cord
a nerve cell that synapses with a non-neural 'effector' cell, like a muscle fiber or gland cell
a nerve cell that transmits impulses from a central area of the nervous system to an effector such as amuscle
a neuron that sends an impulse to an effector - either a gland or a muscle
Same as Lower Motor Neuron.
A neuron that innervated muscle fibers.
A neuron that passes from the central nervous system toward or to a muscle and conducts an impulse that causes movement.
A neuron that carries information from the central nervous system to the muscle.
a neuron that sends messages from the central nervous system to smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, or skeletal muscles. (68)
the nerve cells of the central nervous system that control muscle movement; the poliovirus most often multiples here, destroying the motor neuron in the process.
A neuron that delivers information from a sensory neuron or interneuron to muscles or glands in the body in order to produce a response.
A neuron that makes synaptic contact with the final target cell, such as a skeletal muscle cell.
(mo-tor nur-on): A nerve cell in the spine that causes action in a muscle.
A neuron that has the specific job of controlling muscle movement.
Neurons that carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the muscle receptors.
A neuron, or nerve cell, that conveys messages from the brain or spinal cord to the muscles and glands (syn. efferent neuron). See also sensory neuron.
In vertebrates, the term motor neuron (or motoneuron) classically applies to neurons located in the central nervous system (CNS) which project their axons outside the CNS and directly or indirectly control muscles. The term is synonymous with efferent neurons.
