PPT-UPPER AND LOWER MOTOR NEURON

F UNCTION AND LESION DRTAJAYAN PROF amp HOD PM CNS influence the activity of skeletal muscle through two sets of neuron Upper motor neuron Lower motor neuron Upper motor neurons UMN are responsible for conveying impulses for voluntary motor activity through descending motor pathways that make up the upper motor neurons.

ALS is a rapidly progressive idiopathic neurodegenerative disease primarily targeting voluntary motor neurons, which may result in muscle weakness, paralysis, and respiratory failure. 2015 TOURNAMENTS UPPER STATE LOWER STATE T L Hanna Wando T L Hanna Wando 2 - 1 6 - 5 Northwestern J L Mann South Aiken Wando 7 - 3 2 - 1 Classification.
