Difference between Motor unit and Muscle

Motor unit vs. Muscle

A motor unit is made up of a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by that motor neuron's axonal terminals. Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals.

Similarities between Motor unit and Muscle

Motor unit and Muscle have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Biceps, Electromyography, Embryo, Motor neuron, Muscle contraction, Myopathy, Myosin, Skeletal muscle, Vertebrate.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Biceps

The biceps, also biceps brachii is a two-headed muscle that lies on the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow.

Electromyography

Electromyography (EMG) is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.

Embryo

An embryo is an early stage of development of a multicellular diploid eukaryotic organism.

Motor neuron

A motor neuron (or motoneuron) is a neuron whose cell body is located in the motor cortex, brainstem or the spinal cord, and whose axon (fiber) projects to the spinal cord or outside of the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands.

Muscle contraction

Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers.

Myopathy

Myopathy is a disease of the muscle in which the muscle fibers do not function properly.

Myosin

Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.

Skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
