However, every parent is entitled to their own unique way of parenting â and for some of us, we can sleep every night knowing we did everything we could to protect our kiddos. If you're a proud, hovering helicopter parent (I was a helicopter nanny, so I got you), these are the 11 things you probably (read: definitely) do. Endlessly fuss over your child's outerwear. Make sure you zip up! Yup, all the way to the neck. And gloves, hat, and scarf please â it's going to be, like, 60 degrees..
The neuron (nerve cell) is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. The basic purpose of a neuron is to receive incoming information and, based upon that information, send a signal to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Neurons are designed to rapidly send signals across physiologically long distances.
Alpha motor neurons (also called lower motor neurons) innervate skeletal muscle and cause the muscle contractions that generate movement. Motor neurons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at a synapse called the neuromuscular junction. Thus, there is a one-to-one relationship between a muscle and a motor neuron pool. 2  Each individual muscle fiber in a muscle is innervated by one, and only one, motor neuron (make sure you understand the difference between a muscle and a muscle fiber). 3  A single motor neuron, however, can innervate many muscle fibers.
