Introduction: Neurons, also known as nerve cells, are the fundamental unit of the brain and nervous system. They are electrically excitable cells that aid in communication with neighboring cells through special junctions known as synapses. Alpha and gamma motor neurons are the two types of motor neurons that play an essential role in contraction and relaxation of the muscle cells.
