How To Use motor nerve In A Sentence

  • What happens when a stimulus prompts the organism to respond in a given way, is that some sensory nerve, whether of taste or touch or sound, sight, smell, or muscular sensitivity, receives a stimulus which passes through the spinal cord to a motor nerve through which some muscle is "innervated" and a response made. Human Traits and their Social Significance
  • With the start of regeneration of the oculomotor nerve the Ac.Ch. appears again, but in too small quantities to cause miosis with light stimulus alone, i.e. without the increased activity provided by eserine. Otto Loewi - Nobel Lecture
  • The nervous system can be divided into three functional parts: the sensory clubs or rhopalia, the conducting nerve ring, and the motor nerve net underlying the subumbrellar epithelium.
  • In both cases, the phenomenon had the appearance of a direct, unbroken conduction, to ganglion cell or muscle fibre, of the same propagated wave of physico-chemical disturbance as had constituted the preganglionic or the motor nerve impulse, with only a slight, almost negligible retardation in its passage across the ganglionic synapse or the neuromuscular junction. Sir Henry Dale - Nobel Lecture
  • The center also activates the autonomic motor nerve cells in the cranial nerve nuclei that excite peristalsis in the smooth muscle of the distal esophageal body and relax the lower esophageal sphincter.
  • A second set of fibers from the medial and lateral nuclei end partly in the tegmentum, while the remainder ascend in the medial longitudinal fasciculus to arborize around the cells of the nuclei of the oculomotor nerve. IX. Neurology. 4a. The Hind-brain or Rhombencephalon
  • Two kinds of motor nerves, excitatory nerves that release acetylcholine and inhibitory nerves that release nitric oxide, account for all events that occur in smooth muscle of the esophagus in a swallow.
  • He discovered the function of the motor nerves by cutting them experimentally, and so producing paralysis of the muscles; the platysma, interossei, and popliteus muscles were first described by him. Outlines of Greek and Roman Medicine
  • A wasted muscle will be weak, and if separation from the motor nerve is complete, so will be the paralysis.
  • Considering the manner in which acetylcholine must reach the motor end plates of the muscle fibres, if it were indeed the transmitter of motor nerve excitation - that it must appear with a flash-like suddenness, in high concentration, simultaneously at every nerve ending - we concluded that the ordinary method of injecting acerylcholine, so that it reached the muscle by slow diffusion from the general circulation, could not possibly reproduce this abrupt appearance at the points responsive to its action.
