Question

While some somatic motorneurons excite skeletal muscles, other somatic motorneurons inhibit skeletal muscles.

True

False

Answer 1

Answer

While some somatic motor neurons excite skeletal muscles, other somatic motor neurons inhibit skeletal muscles. ---- FALSE

• Somatic nervous system is also known as voluntary nervous system.
• The somatic motor neurons innervates skeletal muscles.
• These neurons release acetylcholine as neurotransmitter that functions as excitatory neurotransmitter.
• There is no inhibitory stimulation to the skeletal muscles.

- In autonomic nervous system, the motor neurons can be either excitatory or inhibitory.

Hence, the above statement is false.
