Motor Pathways All lower motor neuron (LMN) groups except the facial nerve nucleus that supplies the muscles of facial expression consist of both LMNs that supply the skeletal muscle fibers ( ) and LMNs that supply the small contractile elements in the muscle spindles ( ). The muscles of facial expression do not have muscle spindles and are not supplied by gamma LMNs. The alpha LMNs regulate contraction of the skeletal muscles to produce movement. . This mechanism may account for recovery of physiological function in some LMN diseases such as polio. If the alpha-LMN cell body itself is damaged or is in the process of dying (e.g., in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), the axon may produce aberrant action potentials (agonal bursts of electrical activity) that result in muscle fiber contraction throughout the motor unit, called a fasciculation, which is visually observable.

TIPS (thanks to Feinberg Footnotes) It took several weeks before the material started to make any sense to me at all. Just be persistent with your studying, and layer the information... Learn the most basic things first, then start to fill in the details. It WILL come together in the end if you work at it.

Nerve Cells The nervous system is the body's information gatherer, storage center and control system. Its overall functions are to collect information about the body's external/internal states and transfer this information to the brain ( afferent system ), to analyze this information, and to send impulses out ( efferent system ) to initiate appropriate motor responses to meet the body's needs. The system is composed of specialized cells, termed nerve cells or neurons , that communicate with each other and with other cells in the body. A neuron has three parts : the cell body , containing the nucleus dendrites, hair-like structures surrounding the cell body, which conduct incoming signals. the axon (or nerve fiber ), varying in length from a millimeter to a meter, which conduct outgoing signals emitted by the neuron.

January 11, 2013 Gastrointestinal embryology lecture - quiz results I'm giving the next lecture in the embryology series on Monday and I'm mindful that we had a couple of issues with previous quizzes and live results. Let's add up the scores from the gastrointestinal embryology quiz now: Q1 - girls 86pts, boys 89pts Q2 - girls 50pts, boys 86pts Q3 - girls 18pts, boys 32pts Q4 - girls 95pts, boys 86pts Q5 - girls 82pts, boys 89pts

The basic function of the brain is to produce behaviours, which are, first and foremost, movements. Several different regions of the cerebral cortex are involved in controlling the body's movements. These regions are organized into a hierarchy like the crew of a ship. On an ancient galley, for example, the captain determined the destination for a voyage by assessing the various factors that might make such a trip worthwhile.

End-plate potential
Miniature end plate potentials and end plate spikes recorded from muscle fiber End plate potentials ( EPPs ) (sometimes called " end plate spikes ") are the depolarizations of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction .
In physiology , an action potential is a short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory.
Action potential
Receptor potential , a type of graded potential , is the transmembrane potential difference of a sensory receptor . [ 1 ]
