SPINAL CORD SENSORY AND MOTOR ROOTS NEURONS
Fibers by thickness:
- A-alpha motor/sensory (Ia, Ib): 12-22 mcm, 70-120 m/sec, low theshold, 2ms after stimulus (motoneurons, touch, position and velocity, Meissner's corpuscles)
- A-alpha-Ia motor/sensory:
- muscle spindle primary sensory endings (skin, two-point discrimination, extrafusal muscles, Meissner's corpuscles)
- alpha motoneurons (extrafusal muscle fibers, skeletal movements, brainstem/spinal cord)
- FF-type alpha motoneurons - biggest motoneurons, type IIB extrafusal muscle fibers (generate large force, poor efficiency, affected by static beta motoneurons)
- FR alpha motoneurons - type IIA extrafusal muscle fibers (affected by static beta motoneurons)
- S-type alpha motoneurons - type I muscle fibers (little force, metabolically efficient, affected by dynamic beta motoneurons)
- A-alpha-Ib sensory:
- sensory Golgi tendon organs
- sensory Ruffini endings in skin
- A-alpha-Ia motor/sensory:
- A-beta motor/sensory (II): 8-13 mcm, 40-70 m/sec, higher theshold, 4ms after stimulus (fine touch, kinesthesia, muscle spindle secondary endings)
- Merkel disks (weak position and strong velocity - irregular discharge, type I, hairy/hairless skin)
- Ruffini's corpuscles (strong position and weak velocity receptors - regular discharge, type II, hairy/hairless skin)
- Hairy skin velocity receptors (large hair follicles, slow and rapid movement of hairs and deflection of the skin)
- Pacinian corpuscles (transient receptors, connective tissue, vibration, intrafusal muscles, tonic proprioceptive endings, flower-spray type)
- beta motoneurons (skeleto-fusimotor, intrafusal fibers and collaterals to extrafusal muscle fibers, muscle spindles, increase dynamic sensitivity of ending)
- beta dynamic motoneurons - type I extrafusal muscle fibers and the intrafusal bag1 fiber (slow contracting motor units)
- beta static motoneurons - type IIA or IIB extrafusal fibers and the intrafusal bag2 fiber (fast contracting motor units)
- A-gamma motor: 4-8 mcm, 15-40 m/sec, 6ms after stimulus
- intrafusal muscle fibers (skeletal muscle tone, contract muscle spindles from both ends, fusimotor gamma neurons, affect Ia/II)
- gamma static motoneurons - intrafusal bag2 fiber and the nuclear chain fibers
- gamma dynamic motoneurons - intrafusal bag1 fiber
- intrafusal muscle fibers (skeletal muscle tone, contract muscle spindles from both ends, fusimotor gamma neurons, affect Ia/II)
- A-delta sensory (III): 1-4 mcm, 5-15 m/sec, 20ms after stimulus
- noxious receptors (first/fast, sharp, well-localized pain)
- cold receptors (temperature, high-threshold mechano/heat, phasic)
- pressure (rapidly adapting mechanosensitive, directional selectivity, crude touch)
- B motor: 1-3 mcm, 3-14 m/sec, preganglionic autonomic, myelinated, ACh (sympathetic only in T1-L3, IML)
- preganglionic paravertebral sympathetic (short to paravertebral sympathetic ganglia, close to vertebral, fibers ascend/descend to reach all spinal cord levels)

- C motor/sensory (IV): 0.1-1 mcm, 0.2-2 m/sec, 60ms after stimulus (pain, touch, pressure, temperature, postganglionic autonomic)
- C fiber nociceptors (responsible for the second, burning pain)
- C fiber warming specific receptors (responsible for warmth)
- ultra-slow histamine-selective C fibers (responsible for itch)
- tactile C fibers (sensual touch, includes CT fibres, also known as C low-threshold mechanoreceptors (CLTM), which are unmyelinated afferents found in human hairy skin, and have a low mechanical threshold < 5 milliNewtons. They have moderate adaptation and may exhibit fatigue on repetitive stimulation and "afterdischarges" for several seconds after a stimulus)
- C mechano- and metabo- receptors in muscles or joints (responsible for muscle exercise, burn and cramp)
- postganglionic sympathetic C fibers (muscles and skin, pre/post - temporal summation and spatial summation, one-to-many, wide-spread, long and unmyelinated, NE)
- postganglionic parasympathetic C fibers (from ganglia in/on wall of organ, visceral activity and repose, short, local)

Motor interneurons:
- interneurons of indirect supraspinal connections: primary pathway for alpha-motoneurons
- renshaw interneurons: interneurons of direct monosynaptic connections with alpha-motoneurons, some fibers of CST/LVST/RST, negative feedback on the same alpha-neurons; stop firing to be ready for next supraspinal signal
- integrated rhythmic movements of upper and lower extremities like walking and running
- intersegmental interneurons: reciprocal inhibition (excite agonist muscles/ inhibit antagonist muscles), feedback inhibition (selectively inhibit LMN to proper pattern in agonist muscle group)
- commissural interneurons: to contralateral neurons (crossed extensor reflexes, alternate rhythms of both upper and lower extremities during running and walking)
