Motor unit recruitment. Motor unit recruitment refers to the activation of additional motor units to accomplish an increase in contractile strength in a muscle. A motor unit consists of one motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it stimulates.
The purpose of this project is to first explore the motor unit's basic anatomy and function, followed by the main focus: what neural adaptations actually occur. The motor unit is composed of the alpha motor neuron, or somatic motor neuron, and all of the muscle fibers that it innervates, as seen in Figure 1. The alpha motor neuron's cell body originates in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, and from there it's axon travels toward the muscle, which it then synapses on.
