Question: What are the muscle fibers under the control of a single motor axon?

context: The central nervous system has two distinct ways of controlling the force produced by a muscle through motor unit recruitment: spatial recruitment and temporal recruitment. Spatial recruitment is the activation of more motor units to produce a greater force. Larger motor units contract along with small motor units until all muscle fibers in a single muscle are activated, thus producing the maximum muscle force. Temporal motor unit recruitment, or rate coding, deals with the frequency of activation of muscle fiber contractions. Consecutive stimulation on the motor unit fibres from the alpha motor neuron causes the muscle to twitch more frequently until the twitches "fuse" temporally. This produces a greater force than singular contractions by decreasing the interval between stimulations to produce a larger force with the same number of motor units.

skeletal muscle

Answer: A motor unit is made up of a motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers, also known as sarcomere innervated by the neuron's axon terminals. Groups of motor units often work together as a motor pool to coordinate the contractions of a single muscle. For example, thigh muscles can have a thousand fibers in each unit, while extraocular muscles might have ten. Muscles which possess more motor units, have greater individual motor neuron innervation, and are able to control force output more finely.
