peripheral motoneuron

motoneuron /mo·to·neu·ron/ (mōt″o-nldbomacr´on) motor neuron; a neuron having a motor function; an efferent neuron conveying motor impulses.

Motoneuron shown as the efferent neuron in a three-neuron reflex arc.

lower motoneuron a peripheral neuron whose cell body lies in the ventral gray columns of the spinal cord and whose termination is in a skeletal muscle.

peripheral motoneuron in a reflex arc, a motoneuron that receives impulses from interneurons.

upper motoneuron a neuron in the cerebral cortex that conducts impulses from the motor cortex to a motor nucleus of one of the cerebral nerves or to a ventral gray column of the spinal cord.
