The fewer motor neurons of a given motor neuron pool that are activated,the finer is the control of muscle movement.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. When fewer motor neurons are activated within a motor neuron pool, the resulting muscle contraction is more precise and controlled. This is because each activated motor neuron is able to exert greater influence over the muscle fibers it innervates, allowing for more precise movements. Conversely, when more motor neurons are activated, the resulting muscle contraction is more forceful but less controlled.
