Anterior motor neuron

Large anterior horn spinal motor neuron depicted as a robust multipolar nerve cell with a broad round-to-polygonal, slightly angular or star-shaped soma. The cell body is pale pink-beige, tan-gold, or pale yellow, with a prominent dark central nucleus and possible distinct nucleolus. Numerous thick, tapering, tree-like dendrites radiate broadly from the soma in multiple directions, and a single long axon emerges clearly from one side or the initial segment and extends away. Rendered in soft neural tissue colors with clear, clipart-like anatomical detail suitable for a spinal cord physiology diagram.
