The motor unit is composed of the motor neuron and innervated fibers, which are the ones that contract. 1) motor unit 2) contract.

<h3>What is the motor unit?</h3>

The<u> motor unit</u> is the association between the motor neuron and a group of fibers from the muscle.

A single muscle is composed of several motor units. But the fibers involved in only one motor unit are just a little part of the whole muscle mass, meaning this is the part that will contract.

The motor unit is the basic unit from which the CNS controls motion.

Before contraction, there must be a stimulus that is received by receptors.

The CNA sends a message to respond to the stimulus.

The message is transmitted, by motor neurons, as chemical signals -neurotransmitters- which are received by the muscle fibers.

When the muscle cells receive this information, a cascade of events occurs that produce the local contraction of these fibers.

Which of the following statements about action potentials is correct?A) Action potentials for a given neuron vary in magnitude.B
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Action potential refers to the generation of electrical activity due to the influx and efflux of ions in the cell.

The cell which transmits the action potential is known as the neuron and the neuron maintains the membrane potential at -70 mv. The influx of sodium ions causes depolarization when it crosses the threshold value.  

The generated action potential now travels in the neuron through its long tubular structure called an axon.  The axon transmits the signal from the cell body towards the axon terminal and thus is known as the down the axon.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
