⚫ Each single motor neuron and the muscle fibers it
innervates constitute a MOTOR UNIT.
⚫ No .of muscle fibers in a motor unitvaries.
⚫ HAND,MOTION OF EYE – 3-6 muscle fibers.
⚫ LEG MUSCLES – 600 muscle fibers.
⚫ Groupof muscle fibers (forming a motor unit ) can be
intermixed in a muscle.
⚫ ALL THE MUSCLE FIBERS IN A MOTOR UNIT ARE OF
SAME TYPE.
⚫Based on typeof muscle fibers innervated ,durationof
twitchcontraction
Motorunitsare divided into
⚫S- slow -- small units
⚫FR – fast resistant to fatigue
⚫FF fast fatiguable --- large units
⚫RECRUITMENTof motorunits followssize principle:
⚫S muscle units – relatively slow contraction,controlled
contraction ---FR more powerful response –FF muscle
units mostdemanding tasks..
S MUSCLE UNITS
RELATIVELY
SLOW

CONTRACTION
FR MUSCLE

POWERFUL
RESPONSE
FF MUSCLE
UNITS MOST
DEMANDING
TASKS
STANDING WALKING
RUNNING
OR JUMPING
⚫ Differ byactivity
⚫ Increased activity – muscle hypertrophy –type IIa ,IIb
fibers
⚫ Inactivity –atrophy – type I fibers aresusceptible
If nerve to slow
muscle is cut,the
nerve toa fast
muscle is spliced to
thecutend
The fast nerve
growsand
innervates the
previously slow
muscle
Muscle becomes
fast,changes in
portein
isoforms,changes in
myosin ATPase
activity
⚫Original delineation of ALS – charcot –
CHARCOT’S disease.
⚫Pathological apsectsof disease –
Joffroy,gambault
⚫Labioglossolaryngealparalysis –
progressive bulbarpalsy
⚫"Lou Gehrig'sdisease".
⚫ Amyotrophic comes from thegreek language:
A- means "no", myo refers to "muscle", and trophic means
"nourishment"; amyotrophic therefore means "no muscle
nourishment," which describes the
characteristic atrophicationof thesufferer'sdisused
muscle tissue.
⚫ Lateral identifies theareas in a person's spinal cord where
portions of the nervecells thatareaffected are located.
⚫ As thisarea degenerates it leads to scarring or hardening
(“sclerosis") in the region.
⚫Heterogenousgroupof neurodegenerativedisorders.
⚫Unknown etiology
⚫Selective lossof motor neuronscontrolling voluntary
movements.

⚫Primeex. of neurodegenerativedisease.
⚫Mostdevastating of the neurodegenerativedisorders.
⚫Prevalence 4-6/100,000
⚫Incidence-1-3/100,000
⚫Equal presentation in all racial groups
⚫20-90 yearsof age
⚫Peak between 50-70 years
⚫M:F—1.5:1
⚫Relentlesslyprogressive
⚫Death from resp. paralysis
⚫Survival 3-5 years
⚫Risk factors-pesticides,smoking.

⚫HALLMARK-deathof LMN ,.UMN
⚫LMN-ant.horncellsof spinal cord,bulbar muscles
⚫UMN—layer 5 of motorcortex,descending via
pyramidal tracts.
⚫Other motor neuron disease involvesonly subsetof
motor neurons.

recognised in muscle biopsiesand on clinical exam,---

  • 1.
  • 3. ⚫ Each single motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates constitute a MOTOR UNIT. ⚫ No .of muscle fibers in a motor unitvaries. ⚫ HAND,MOTION OF EYE – 3-6 muscle fibers. ⚫ LEG MUSCLES – 600 muscle fibers. ⚫ Groupof muscle fibers (forming a motor unit ) can be intermixed in a muscle. ⚫ ALL THE MUSCLE FIBERS IN A MOTOR UNIT ARE OF SAME TYPE.
  • 4. ⚫Based on typeof muscle fibers innervated ,durationof twitchcontraction Motorunitsare divided into ⚫S- slow -- small units ⚫FR – fast resistant to fatigue ⚫FF fast fatiguable --- large units ⚫RECRUITMENTof motorunits followssize principle: ⚫S muscle units – relatively slow contraction,controlled contraction ---FR more powerful response –FF muscle units mostdemanding tasks..

  • 9. ⚫ Differ byactivity ⚫ Increased activity – muscle hypertrophy –type IIa ,IIb fibers ⚫ Inactivity –atrophy – type I fibers aresusceptible If nerve to slow muscle is cut,the nerve toa fast muscle is spliced to thecutend The fast nerve growsand innervates the previously slow muscle Muscle becomes fast,changes in portein isoforms,changes in myosin ATPase activity

  • 12.
  • 13. ⚫ Amyotrophic comes from thegreek language: A- means "no", myo refers to "muscle", and trophic means "nourishment"; amyotrophic therefore means "no muscle nourishment," which describes the characteristic atrophicationof thesufferer'sdisused muscle tissue. ⚫ Lateral identifies theareas in a person's spinal cord where portions of the nervecells thatareaffected are located. ⚫ As thisarea degenerates it leads to scarring or hardening (“sclerosis") in the region.
