motor fibres

It supplies only motor fibres.

A group of muscles innervated by the motor fibres of a single nerve root is known as a myotome.

The second is that there is transient inactivation of motor fibres caused by activation of NMDA receptors.

Both of these nerves supply motor fibres to the diaphragm and sensory fibres to the fibrous pericardium, mediastinal pleura, and diaphragmatic peritoneum.

It supplies motor fibres to all of the muscles of the tongue, except the palatoglossus muscle which is innervated by the vagus nerve (Cranial nerve X).

As the tensor tympani is innervated by motor fibres of the trigeminal nerve, it does not receive fibres from the trigeminal ganglion, which has sensory fibres only.

An epidural often does not cause as significant neuromuscular block unless specific local anesthetics are used which block motor fibres as readily as sensory nerve fibres, while a spinal more often does.

In myopathies the size of the motor units is reduced because of the death of motor fibres, but the number of motor units remains the same until the disease progresses to a very severe state.

Preganglionic motor fibres (ganglionic branches) from the dorsal vagal nucleus and the special visceral efferents from the nucleus ambiguus, which descend to the inferior vagal ganglion form a band skirting the ganglion.

At one extreme, the description of the reflex pathway can be regarded as an account of a "real-time" journey of the impulses from the pain receptor along the sensory fibres to the spinal cord and back along the motor fibres to the biceps muscle.

This happens because the motor fibres of corticospinal tract ( also called pyramidal fibres), which take origin from the motor cortex in brain, cross to the opposite side in the lower part of medulla oblangata and then descend down in spinal cord to supply their respective muscles.
