Lateral Motor Column


SpC.LMC
The lateral motor column contains a set of motor neurons arranged in longitudinal arrays and project to distinct regions in the periphery. The LMC is generated only at limb levels, at the brachial and lumbar spinal cord levels, and sends axons into the limb mesenchyme. The LMC is the most prominent type of motor neuron column.
