Pertaining to or involving both the nervous system and motor activities; applied spec. to a system of minute ectoplasmic fibrils connecting some of the cirri to the motorium in some ciliate protozoa.
1914[see motorium 2]. 1940L. H. Hyman Invertebrates I. iii. 169 It is probable that at least some of the fibrils of the neuromotor system are conductile and serve to coordinate ciliary activities..; but others are presumably of a supporting nature. 1959W. Andrew Textbk. Compar. Histology xiv. 539 The neuromotor system of Stylonichia appears to be very similar to that of Oxytricha... Some authors have ascribed a neuromotor function to certain fibrils connected to the basal granules of flagellates. 1966New Scientist 3 Nov. 242/1 These neuromotor fibres have since been generally accepted as indicating the presence of an elementary intracellular ‘nervous system’. 1966Amer. Speech XLI. 226 Speech production by control of vocal tract configuration changes treats..phonemic distinction in terms of neuromotor commands. 1971Language XLVII. 51 We have now reached the stage where automatic phonetic and phonological rules take over, converting the sequences of segments into actual neuro-motor commands to the muscles in the articulation of the utterance. |
