Motor Unit Anatomy The motor unit is composed of the anterior horn cell, its peripheral nerve and multiple terminal axons, each innervating many individual muscle fibers. A skeletal muscle fascicle consists of 20 to 60 fibers surrounded by a connective tissue sheath. A single muscle fiber is inne...

Definition First defined by Sherrington in 1925, themotor unitis the combination of analpha motoneuronor abeta motoneuron(or motor neuron) and the set of extrafusal striated muscle fibers (called themuscle unitportion) that are innervated by it.Gamma motoneuronsthat exclusively innervate specialized...
Physiological and developmental implications of motor unit anatomy. There is increasing evidence that the architectural design and arrangement of the fibers within a motor unit have important physiological and developmental ramifications. Limited data, however, are available to directly address this issu.....
