motoneuron [mo″to-noor´on] a neuron having a motor function; an efferent neuron conveying motor impulses. Called also motor neuron.lower motoneuron a peripheral neuron whose cell body lies in the ventral gray columns of the spinal cord and whose termination is in a skeletal muscle.peripheral m's neurons in a peripheral reflex arc that receive impulses from interneurons and transmit them to voluntary muscles.upper motoneuron a neuron in the cerebral cortex that conducts impulses from the motor cortex to a motor nucleus of one of the cerebral nerves or to a ventral gray column of the spinal cord.mo·tor neu·rona nerve cell in the spinal cord, rhombencephalon, or mesencephalon characterized by having an axon that leaves the central nervous system to establish a functional connection with an effector (muscle or glandular) tissue; somatic motor neuron directly synapse with striated muscle fibers by motor endplates; visceral motor neuron or autonomic motor neuron (preganglionic m. neurons), by contrast, innervate smooth muscle fibers or glands only by the intermediary of a second, peripheral, neuron (postganglionic m. neuron) located in an autonomic, or visceral motor, ganglion.
