Schematic diagram showing the components of Lower motor neuron. For discussion of this image follow ‘Clinical neurology with KD’ podcast episode four -Approach to lower motor neuron disorder in Apple podcast, Spotify or Google podcast. Components of the lower motor neuron include Alpha motor neurons in anterior horn cells Root Plexus Peripheral nerve Neuromuscular junction and Muscle NMJ and muscle per se do not form part of the Lower motor neuron but they can be considered as part of the Lower motor neuron syndrome as the clinical features are the same. Lesions at any of these levels will be associated with clinical features of LMN disorder including Wasting Hypotonia Weakness in a nerve, plexus or root pattern depending on the site of lesion Decreased or absent reflex Flexor plantar reflex Involuntary movements like fasciculations may be present #clinicalneurologywithkd #neurologyteachingclub#neurologypodcast #NTC #firstpodcast #neurology#neurosciences #neuro #clinicalneurology #medicine #clinicalmedicine #kdpodcast #mbbs #medicos #doctors #neuroanatomy#casediscussion #medicinecase #casepresentation #medicineresidents #residency #neuroimages #neurophysiology #NEET #finalmbbs #housesurgeon #approachtolmndisorderspodcast #mcq https://www.instagram.com/p/CWGWwgLvVdI/?utm_medium=tumblr
