Neural Circuitry that travels outside the Peripheral nervous system
spinal cord
A sensory receptor within a muscle that Muscle Spindle
detects changes in length and helps
regulate contraction
Branches of the cell body that act as Dendrites
receivers, collecting information from other
neurons
Muscle contraction is triggered when the acetylcholine
following chemical neurotransmitters binds
to receptors on the muscle
Division of the peripheral nervous system somatic nervous system
controls voluntary movement
,Type of motor unit can contract for many Slow of Motor Unit
hours
Type of motor unit has a large motor neuron Fast Fatiguable (FF)
