Muscle relaxant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A muscle relaxant is a drug which affects skeletal muscle function and decreases the muscle tone. It may be used to alleviate symptoms such as muscle spasms, pain, and hyperreflexia. The term "muscl...

All muscle fibres controlled by this nerve are recruited together, and the grouping of a motor neuron plus its family of muscle fibres is said to comprise a ‘motor unit’. When transmitter is not being released, ... See musculo-skeletal system. See also autonomic nervous system; cardiac muscle; motor neurons;

This could explain why the specific nerve cells that are preferentially affected in HSP - those that send signals from the brain's cerebral cortex to the motor neurons that initiate muscle contractions - show a progressive dysfunction that culminates in degeneration.

Exogenously administered tachykinins (substance P, ... In conclusion, capsaicin evokes release of several tachykinins from both central and peripheral endings of primary afferent neurons. The peptides released from sensory nerves in the periphery may induce effects such as protein extravasation and smooth muscle contraction.
