Motor

• • Their role is to carry signals from the CNS toward organs, muscles and glands (PNS)
• They can both transmit and receive messages 
• • Motor neurons control physical movements such as contraction/relaxation of muscles
• • They have short dendrites and long axons
• They release neurotransmitters to trigger responses leading to muscle movement
• They are located in the brain stem or spinal cord
• They connect to muscles, glands and organs Throughout the body
• Neurons transmit signals from the spinal cord and brain stem to skeletal and smooth muscle to contour muscle Movements directly or indirectly
• Lower motor neurons: travel from the spinal cord to the muscles of the body
• Multipolar: have one axon and several dendrites projecting from the cell body
• Motor neuron
