Question
Chapter 16, Problem 14CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The path followed by a motor impulse from the upper motor neuron via the final common pathway.
Introduction:
The lower motor neurons can be defined as the network of neurons, which provide the input to the skeletal muscles. It receives the signals from the upper motor neurons and forms a final pathway, which is responsible for the movement of the skeletal muscles.
