Best Answer

A motor neurone connects the central nervous system (CNS) with an effector, which is to say either a muscle or a gland.

The length of the neurone depends on the size of the animal. In a human, some of the longest neurones extend from the base of the spine to the foot. The longest must be in the largest animals. Think of a giraffe. Not to mention a blue whale!

axon, which is the elongated fiber that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or muscle cells. The axon can extend a great distance from the cell body to reach its target, such as a muscle fiber.

What is the nuclei that coordinate motor output?

I'm not sure what nuclei would do that. If you mean cellular nuclei then it would be the nuclei in the soma on the motor neuron. But, if you are asking about motor coordination, that is controlled by a part of the brain called the cerebellum.

It sounds like you are a neuron, specifically a motor neuron. Motor neurons are long and thin cells that transmit electrical signals from the brain to muscles to control movement. The special coat of fat you mentioned is likely the myelin sheath, which helps conduct signals more efficiently along the neuron's axon.


Which does not constitute part of a two-neuron reflex?

A two-neuron reflex typically involves a sensory neuron carrying information from a sensory receptor to the spinal cord, where it synapses with an interneuron. The interneuron then synapses with a motor neuron that carries the response signal to an effector organ, such as a muscle or gland. In this pathway, a third neuron would not typically be involved in a two-neuron reflex.
