text: Alpha motor neurons innervate extrafusal muscle fibers, which are the main force-generating component of a muscle.
text: Alpha motor neurons exclusively innervate extrafusal muscle fibers and are the key of muscle contraction (Figure 10).
text: Individual motor neuron groups are highly organized in terms of their cell body distribution, projection patterns, and function and consist of force-generating alpha motor neurons that innervate extrafusal muscle fibers and stretch-sensitive gamma motor neurons that innervate intrafusal muscle fibers of the muscle spindles (; reviewed in).
text: Alpha motor neurons, the most abundant type, are used in the actual force for muscle contraction and therefore innervate extrafusal muscle fibers (muscle fibers outside of the muscle spindle).
text: They are organized in the same manner as the muscles they innervate • Alpha motor neurons innervate extrafusal muscle fibers that generate force at neuromuscular junctions at the start of muscle contraction.
