Each Motor Nerve consists of the axons of motor neurons, which extend to the organs of the body, including glands and muscles. A motor nerve emerges from either side of the spinal cord and vertebral column along the length of the spinal cord and innervates organs and muscles within the distribution area associated with each level.
