Popis: | Type S and FR motor units, comprising smaller phrenic motor neurons (PhMNs) are regularly activated to perform indefatigable ventilatory requirements. By contrast, type FF motor units, comprising larger PhMNs, are infrequently activated to perform expulsive straining and airway defense maneuvers. This difference in activation history is mirrored in the mitochondrial volume density (MVD), with smaller PhMNs having higher MVD than larger PhMNs. In proximal dendrites, this trend was reversed, with larger PhMNs having higher MVD than smaller PhMNs, likely due to the maintenance requirements for the larger dendritic arbor of FF PhMNs. |
