A client with loss of control over his voluntary movements is admitted to a healthcare facility. Of which functions performed by the motor neurons should the nurse be aware?
A) Receive and transmit messages from the central nervous system (CNS)
B) Associate impressions and information
C) Maintain constant level of blood pressure
D) Regulate release of hormones
A
Feedback:
Receiving and transmitting messages from the CNS to all the parts of the body is the important function of the motor neurons of which the nurse needs to be aware. Associating impressions and information is the function of the cerebral cortex and not the function of motor neurons. Regulating the release of hormones is the function of the hypothalamus and not the function of motor neurons. Maintaining blood pressure is a cardiovascular function.
