AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body to allow muscles to move. These connections make up the way we think, learn, move, and feel. They control how our bodies work-regulating breathing, digestion, and the beating of our hearts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Motor neurons control voluntary muscle activity such as speaking and carry messages from nerve cells in the brain to the muscles. All the other neurons are called interneurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -The spinal cord is a vital aspect of the CNS found within the vertebral column. The purpose of the spinal cord is to send motor commands from the brain to the peripheral body as well as to relay sensory information from the sensory organs to the brain.

Detailed explanation-5: -Motor neurones are cells in the brain and spinal cord that allow us to move, speak, swallow and breathe by sending commands from the brain to the muscles that carry out these functions.
