Question

Many upper motor neurons synapse with lower motor neurons in the ___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be- anterior horn cells

Explanation:

The upper motor neurons in the system of motor neurons of the central nervous system.

The motor neurons transmit the signals from the CNS to the skeletal muscles and thus controls the voluntary movement and maintain the posture of the body.

The motor neurons of the upper system synapse with the lower motor neurons in the cell bodies of the lower motor neurons located in the grey matter of the spinal cord.

The cell bodies where upper neurons synapse with lower neurons are known as anterior horn cells in which the interneurons connect these neurons.

Thus, anterior horn cells are the correct answer.
