FranPeripheral nervous system (PNS) motor neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary movements of skeletal muscles. They receive signals from the central nervous system (CNS) and transmit them to the muscles to initiate movement. PNS motor neurons are essential for activities like walking, talking, and grabbing objects.

Based on the main neurotransmitters the sympathetic nervous system can be classified as what-?
These are motor neurons located in the ganglia of the PNS
Which of the following cell types insulates neurons in the PNS?
neurona;
Does the ganglia contain sensory neurons?
No, the ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies located outside of the central nervous system. They primarily contain motor neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands for motor control. Sensory neurons transmit signals from sensory organs to the central nervous system for processing.
What supports neurons in PNS ganglia?
Neurons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) ganglia are supported by satellite cells. Satellite cells surround neuron cell bodies, providing structural support, regulating nutrient exchange, and contributing to the health and function of the neurons.
Where does many upper motor neurons synapse with lower motor neurons?
Many upper motor neurons synapse with lower motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. This is where the cell bodies of lower motor neurons are located, allowing for the direct control of muscle function.
