… All skeletal muscles are controlled by motor neurons, and contract only when they receive commands from motor neurons. At the same time, motor neurons also control the nutritional state of muscle fibers and maintain their normal thickness. Therefore, muscle atrophy can occur not only due to diseases of the muscles themselves, but also due to diseases of motor neurons and the peripheral nerves derived from them. The former is called myogenic muscular atrophy, and the latter is called neurogenic muscular atrophy. It is also well known that exercise makes muscles develop and thicken, but conversely, atrophy occurs when muscles are not used for a long period of time. … *Some of the terminology that refers to "neurogenic muscular atrophy" is listed below.
