-motor neuron are some 1.3 m ( 4ft.3 in ) long; they have cell bodies ( grey matter ) in the lower spinal cord with axons ( white matter) that carry nerve impulses from the spinal cord down to the big toe. The cell system that carry certain sensations
( vibration and positional sense ) back from the big toe to the brain are even longer -about equal to height of the body.
-the ability of neurons to recieve and transmit information defends on their structure.Motor neuron like those that carry command signals from your spinal cord to your skeletal muscles.
