  2. Muscle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_fatigue

    Muscle fatigue is when muscles that were initially generating a normal amount of force, then experience a declining ability to generate force.It can be a result of vigorous exercise, but abnormal fatigue may be caused by barriers to or interference with the different stages of muscle contraction.

  3. Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_innervation_of...

    Lower limb. Foot. Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs is the nerve supply to areas of the skin of the lower limbs (including the feet) which are supplied by specific cutaneous nerves.

  4. Cutaneous innervation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_innervation

    The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into the somatic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system.However, it is the somatic nervous system, responsible for body movement and the reception of external stimuli, which allows one to understand how cutaneous innervation is made possible by the action of specific sensory fibers located on the skin, as well ...

  5. Merkel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkel_cell

    Merkel cell. Merkel cells are found in the skin and some parts of the mucosa of all vertebrates. In mammalian skin, they are clear cells found in the stratum basale [2] [3] (at the bottom of sweat duct ridges) of the epidermis approximately 10 μm in diameter.

  6. Alpha motor neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_motor_neuron

    Alpha (α) motor neurons (also called alpha motoneurons), are large, multipolar lower motor neurons of the brainstem and spinal cord.They innervate extrafusal muscle fibers of skeletal muscle and are directly responsible for initiating their contraction.

  7. Parasympathetic ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasympathetic_ganglia

    Parasympathetic ganglia are the autonomic ganglia of the parasympathetic nervous system.Most are small terminal ganglia or intramural ganglia, so named because they lie near or within (respectively) the organs they innervate.

  8. Supraclavicular nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraclavicular_nerves

    The supraclavicular nerve is a cutaneous (sensory) nerve of the cervical plexus that arises from the third and fourth cervical (spinal) nerves.It emerges from beneath the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, then split into multiple branches.

  9. Cervical spinal nerve 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_spinal_nerve_6

    The cervical spinal nerve 6 (C6) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1]It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 6 (C6).. The C6 nerve root shares a common branch from C5, and has a role in innervating many muscles of the rotator cuff and distal arm, [2] including:
