For spinal nerves, the general somatic efferent motor neurons have their cell bodies located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord (sometimes also called the anterior horn).
Some of your cranial nerves also have motor neurons located in various nuclei of the brainstem.

How are motor neuron diseases diagnosed?
often based upon symptoms and exclusion of other neurological diseases. Nerve conduction studies can help distinguish some forms of peripheral neuropathy from motor neuron disease
Where is the nucleus located in the neuron?
The nucleus of a neuron is typically located in the cell body, also known as the soma. It is located towards the center of the neuron, where it functions to control the activities of the cell and contains the genetic material needed for cellular functioning.
Where is the motor neuron cell located?
Motor neuron cells are located within the central nervous system (CNS), specifically in the spinal cord and brain. They are responsible for transmitting signals from the brain to muscles and glands to control movements and various bodily functions.
What is the difference between nuclei and ganglia?
In the central nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a nucleus.In the peripheral nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a ganglion (plural: ganglia).The one exception to this rule that you may have encountered is the basal ganglia in the brain. Indeed, the basal ganglia technically should be called the basal nuclei, but they were named prior to the terms being defined and the name has stuck.
What is descending tract and one ascending tract in upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron?
central nervous system (CNS) is the descending tract and one ascending tract in upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron.
Neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system?
Sensory neuron and motor neuron.
Are motor neuron cell bodies located in the gray or white matter?
gray matter
Are motor neuron cell bodies located in the gray of white matter of the spinal cord?
gray
Are motor neuron cell bodies located in the the gray or white matter of the spinal cord?
gray
Are motor neuron cell bodies located in the gray matter or white matter of the spinal cord?
gray
What is a preganglionic neuron?
A preganglionic neuron is a type of neuron located in the central nervous system that forms synapses with ganglionic neurons in the autonomic nervous system. It carries signals from the central nervous system to the ganglia, allowing for communication between the brain and the autonomic nervous system.
Where is the motor neuron located?
The motor neuron cells are all in the brain and the spinal cord.

What is an efferent neuron?
A motor neuron is an efferent neuron as it 'sends out' a signal as opposed to sensory nerves which are afferent and relay information from the periphery towards the central nervous system.
What is the location of a motor neuron?
In vertebrates, the term motor neuron (or motoneuron) classically applies to neurons located in the central nervous system (or CNS) that project their axons outside the CNS and directly or indirectly control muscles. The motor neuron is often associated with efferent neuron, primary neuron, or alpha motor neurons.Source:Wikipedia (search Motor neuron, to read more).
What neuron has the capacity for regeneration?
Motor neurons have the capacity to regenerate as long as the Schwann cells remain intact
