…It is a type of astrocyte that extends several dendrites from the cell body. There are two types of motor neurons: large alpha motor neurons and small gamma motor neurons. The alpha type gives off alpha motor fibers with a diameter of 8 to 13 μm, and the gamma type gives off gamma motor fibers with a diameter of 3 to 8 μm. Signals from the alpha motor fibers cause muscle contraction, and the gamma motor fibers send signals to tension receptors called muscle spindles in the muscle, which then control specialized muscle fibers called intrinsic muscles. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "gamma motor neuron" is listed below.
