Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to a lower motor neuron in the somatic nervous system leads to flaccid paralysis of the muscle fibers (motor unit) that it innervates. This is because lower motor neurons are responsible for transmitting impulses from the spinal cord to the skeletal muscles, and their damage leads to the disruption of this communication, resulting in a loss of muscle tone and reflexes. This is known as flaccid paralysis.
