spinal cord
Where is the destination of lower motor neurons? [ ANS: ]
Neuromuscular junction
What are nueromuscular junctions? [ ANS: ] Special type of
synapse that allow nerve to connect to muscle fiber to trigger
contraction of that fiber when action potential or nerve impulse
reaches end of axon
Can lower motor neurons have several sources of input? [ ANS: ]
Yes; they take a "vote" from sources to determine if they will be
brought to threshold and if they will fire
