Somatic motor neurons
The oculomotor nerve is a motor neuron that controls all but two of the extraocular eye muscles, the levator palpebrae superioris and the intrinsic eye muscles. The nerves originate in the mesencephalon and pass through the superior orbital fissure on its way to the eye. The vagus nerve is a mixed motor and sensory nerve. The sensory neurons convey information from the inferior pharynx, larynx and thoracic and abdominal organs. Somatic motor neurons innervate muscles in the soft palate, pharynx and intrinsic laryngeal muscles. 1 Another area, not on the dorsum of the brainstem, is where the branchial efferent nuclei reside. 2  These formed from the branchial arches, in the embryo. 3  This area is a bit below the autonomic motor nuclei, and includes the nucleus ambiguus, facial nerve nucleus, as well as the motor part of the trigeminal nerve nucleus. This arrangement mirrors the arrangement of tracts in the spinal cord. 1  Close to the midline are the motor efferent nuclei, such as the oculomotor nucleus, which control skeletal muscle. 2  Just lateral to this are the autonomic (or visceral) efferent nuclei. Motor neurons' axons are efferent nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord to the effectors to produce effects. Types of motor neurons are alpha motor neurons, beta motor neurons, and gamma motor neurons. There are upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons, with the cell type described above being a lower motor neuron. Upper motor neurons are cortico-spinal interneurons that arise from the motor cortex and descend to the spinal cord where they activate the lower motor neurons through synapses. Special visceral motor neurons, also called branchial motor neurons, which directly innervate branchial muscles (that motorize the gills in fish and the face and neck in land vertebrates). A peripheral nerve that contains axons of the dorsal root ganglia or the cranial ganglia (i.e., somatic sensory nerves) or axons of the ventral horn or cranial nuclei motor neurons (i.e., somatic motor nerves). Somatic nerves innervate skin, skeletal muscles, and joints. A motor nerve originating in the lumbar plexus and composed of axons from spinal cord segments L2–L4. It passes into the thigh through the obturator foramen of the pelvic bones and innervates the adductor longus, adductor brevis, gracilis, pectineus, obturator externus, and adductor magnus muscles. A motor neuron (or motoneuron) is a nerve cell (neuron) whose cell body is located in the spinal cord and whose fiber (axon) projects outside the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands. Special visceral motor neurons, also called branchial motor neurons, which directly innervate branchial muscles (that motorize the gills in fish and the face and neck in land vertebrates). A cranial nerve nucleus is a collection of neurons (gray matter) in the brain stem that is associated with one or more cranial nerves. Axons carrying information to and from the cranial nerves form a synapse first at these nuclei. This arrangement mirrors the arrangement of tracts in the spinal cord. 1  Close to the midline are the motor efferent nuclei, such as the oculomotor nucleus, which control skeletal muscle. 2  Just lateral to this are the autonomic (or visceral) efferent nuclei. A sensory nerve composed of the axons of the retinal ganglion cells in the eye. The nerve runs from the back of the eye, through the optic canal, and into the middle cranial fossa. In front of the stalk of the pituitary gland, the right and left optic nerves merge to form the optic chiasm. A motor nerve originating in the lumbar plexus and composed of axons from spinal cord segments L2–L4. It passes into the thigh through the obturator foramen of the pelvic bones and innervates the adductor longus, adductor brevis, gracilis, pectineus, obturator externus, and adductor magnus muscles.
