unreferenced date May 2009 Lower motor neurons LMNs are the motorneuron s connecting the brainstem and spinal cord to muscle fibers , bringing the action potential nerve impulses from the upper motorneuron s out to the muscle s. A lower motorneuron s axon terminates on an effector muscle . Classification Lower motor neurons are classified based on the type of muscle fiber they innervate Alpha motorneuron s MNs innervate extrafusal muscle fiber s, the most numerous type of muscle fiber and the one involved in muscle contraction . Gamma motorneuron s MNs innervate intrafusal muscle fiber s, which together with sensory afferents compose muscle spindle s. These are part of the system for sensing proprioception body position proprioception . Physiology Glutamate released from the upper motor neurons triggers depolarization in the lower motor neurons in the ventral horn which in turn causes an action potential to propagate the length of the axon to the neuromuscular junction where acetylcholine is released to carry the signal across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic receptors of the muscle cell membrane, signaling the muscle to contract. Consequences of lesions Damage to lower motor neurons, lower motorneuron lesion s LMNL cause decreased Muscle tone tone , decreased strength and decreased Reflex reflexes in affected areas. These findings are in contrast to findings in upper motorneuron lesion s. LMNL is indicated by abnormal Electromyography EMG potentials, fasciculation s, paralysis , weakening of muscles , and neurogenic atrophy of skeletal muscle.

A beta motorneuron or beta motoneuron is a kind of lower motorneuron , along with alpha motorneuron and gamma motorneuron . These motor neurons MNs innervate intrafusal fibers of muscle spindles with collaterals to extrafusal fibers type of slow twitch fibers . Axons of beta motor neurons as alpha and gamma motoneuron are myelinated. Alpha, gamma and beta motor neurons originate from the Anterior horn of spinal cord anterior horn of spinal cord and travel to skeletal muscles efferent neurons . Alpha motor fibers have a larger diameter and higher conduction velocity than beta and gamma motor fibers. Types of beta motoneuron There are two kinds of beta motoneuron as gamma motoneuron that include Static beta motor neurons. These motor neurons innervate nuclear chain fiber nuclear chain fibers of muscle spindles, with collaterals to extrafusal muscle fibers. Dynamic beta motor neurons. The dynamic type innervates nuclear bag fibers of muscle spindles, with collaterals to extrafusal muscle fibers. Gamma motoneurons innervate only intrafusal fibers of muscle spindles, but extrafusal fibers i.e. slow and fast fibers are innervated by alpha motoneurons.

Each axon has a peripheral branch from the cell body to the periphery skin, joint and muscle and a central branch from the cell body to spinal cord ref Principles of neural science. Eric R. Kandel, James Schwartz, and Thomas Jessell. Fourth Edition. 2000 ref . Anatomy The soma cell body of each pseudounipolar neuron is located within a dorsal root ganglion . The axon leaves the cell body and out of the dorsal root ganglion into the dorsal root, where it splits into two branches. The central branch goes to the posterior horn of spinal cord posterior dorsal horn of the spinal cord, where it forms synapse s with other neurons. The peripheral branch travels through the distal dorsal root into the spinal nerve all the way until skin, joint, and muscle. Signal Pathway These neurons have sensory receptors on skin, joints, muscles, and other parts of the body.

Spindle neurons , also called von Economo neurons VENs , are a specific class of neuron s that are characterized by a large Spindle textiles spindle shaped soma, gradually tapering into a single apical axon in one direction, with only a single dendrite facing opposite. Whereas other types of neurons tend to have many dendrites, the polar shaped morphology of spindle neurons is unique. They are found in two very restricted regions in the brain s of Hominidae hominid s spaced ndash the family of species comprising human s and other great apes spaced ndash the anterior cingulate cortex ACC and the insular cortex fronto insular cortex FI .
