Detailed explanation-1: -Based on contractile speed, motor units are classified as either slow-twitch (S) or fast-twitch (F). The F motor units are further subdivided into fast-twitch fatigue-resistant (FR), fast-twitch fatigue-intermediate (Fint), and fast-twitch fatigable (FF).
Detailed explanation-2: -A small motor unit is an arrangement where a single motor neuron supplies a small number of muscle fibers in a muscle. Small motor units permit very fine motor control of the muscle. The best example in humans is the small motor units of the extraocular eye muscles that move the eyeballs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory nerves contain only afferent fibers, long dendrites of sensory neurons. Motor nerves have only efferent fibers, long axons of motor neurons. Mixed nerves contain both types of fibers. A connective tissue sheath called the epineurium surrounds each nerve.
