A beta motor neuron or beta motoneuron is a kind of lower motor neuron , along with alpha motor neuron and gamma motor neuron . 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.

WDR neurons are responsive to all sensory modalities thermal, chemical and mechanical and a broad range of intensity of stimulation from peripheral nerves.

They are associated with cold and pressure, and as nociceptors stimulation of them is interpreted as fast first pain information. They are thinly myelin ated, so conduct signals more rapidly than unmyelinated C fiber s, but more slowly than other, more thickly myelinated A class fibers. The fibers terminate at Rexed lamina I. Structure They are thin, myelin ated axons with a moderate conduction velocity , or speed of travel of a nerve signal 2 to 30 m s . These nerve fibers are associated with acute sharp Pain and nociception pain and therefore constitute the afferent portion of the reflex arc that results in pulling away from noxious stimuli e.g. yanking hand away from hot stove . A certain proportion of A fibers are also associated with sensations of temperature also known as cold receptors in mammals and pressure . Slowly conducting, unmyelinated C fiber s, by contrast, carry slow, burning pain.

It transmits information to the thalamus about pain , temperature , itch and crude tactition touch . The pathway decussates at the level of the spinal cord , rather than in the brainstem like the posterior column medial lemniscus pathway and corticospinal tract . Tracts There are two main parts of the spinothalamic tract STT The lateral spinothalamic tract transmits pain and temperature . The anterior spinothalamic tract or ventral spinothalamic tract transmits crude touch. Information transmitted The types of sensory information transmitted via the spinothalamic tract are described as affective sensation . This means that the sensation is accompanied by a compulsion to act. For instance, an itch is accompanied by a need to scratch, and a painful stimulus makes us want to withdraw from the pain. Sub systems There are two sub systems identified Direct for direct conscious appreciation of pain Indirect for affective and arousal impact of pain . Indirect projections include Spino Reticulo Thalamo Cortical part of the ascending reticular arousal system , aka ARAS Spino Mesencephalic Limbic for affective impact of pain .

It has recently been discovered that the location and extent of a neuron s AIS can be altered by the neuron s level of activity and that these changes are thought to influence the excitability of the neuron ... called depolarization . A neuron will fire an action potential when depolarization occurs at 55 mV milivolts .The neuron will not fire, and the action potential will not occur if the neuron ... produces an action potential. Repolarization, when sodium ions enters a negative neuron the inside of the neuron is always negative neuron it becomes positive due to the positive charge in the sodium and the neuron gets depolarized. Due to this positive impact of the sodium the potassium channels rush ... of an action potential, changes in electrical potential in the soma and the dendrites of the neuron ... been discovered through research that if the axons of a neuron were damaged, as long as the soma the cell body of a neuron is not damaged, the axons would regenerate and remake the synaptic connections ... generated title ref See also Nerve fiber Nerve Neuron Dendrite Synapse Axon guidance Pioneer axon ... more details
