A motor unit is often called 'steam engine' in its own right.

When a motor unit is activated, all of its fibers contract.

These motor units were sold separately as a replacement part until around 1990.

The chapter is titled "The motor unit and muscle action."

All muscle fibers in a motor unit will be of the same fiber type.

The number of motor units per muscle can change due to aging, disease, or injury.

The action potential frequency signals the force being developed by the 10 to 20 motor units within the muscle.

Each fan had its own self-contained motor unit, with no need for belt drive.

This may be due to losses of the fastest conducting motor units.

Some of their motor units operate on an action-at-a-distance principle.

By increasing the number of motor units recruited this training increases muscle performance.

His best subjects coordinated several motor units to produce drum rolls.

"It's got to be in the positioning motor unit for the mirror outside, then, just the way I said.

She moved slowly along the length of the motor units, down a narrow passage between the engines and the wall.

This may be generated by progressive recruitment of new motor units in the both muscles.

If a weak contraction is needed only the type 1 motor units will be activated.

This also allows a vehicle to be returned to service more quickly by swapping motor units.

Distinct skeletal muscles are controlled by groups of individual motor units.

The nervous system determines the degree of motor unit activated in sport like activities.

The motor units are being recruited in an order from slow, low force to fast, high force.

In a similar vein, normal aging also reduces the number of motor units but not to the same degree as disease.

The result is some recovery of movement and the development of enlarged motor units.

Motor units are typically a type of piston or steam turbine.

There are at least six techniques that are currently in use to estimate motor unit numbers.
