A motor unit is made up of a motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by that motor neuron's axonal terminals.roups of motor units often work together to coordinate the contractions of a single muscle; all of the motor units within a muscle are considered a motor pool. All muscle fibers in a motor unit are of the same fiber type.
SURFACE STRUCTURE. Basaltic lava flows erupt primarily from shield volcanoes, fissure systems, scoria cones, and spatter cones. These fluid lava flows can be subdivided into two end-member structural types, based primarily on the nature of lava flow surfaces: 1  Pahoehoe Lava -- Surfaces are smooth, billowy, or ropy.
Volcanoes and Volcanic Eruptions. Magmas and Lava. Since volcanic eruptions are caused by magma (a mixture of liquid rock, crystals, and dissolved gas) expelled onto the Earth's surface, we'll first review the characteristics of magma that we covered previously. Three basic types of magma:
