AB The  peripheral  nerves,  neuromuscular  junction,  and  skeletal  muscle  represent  the  final  component  of  the  lower  motor  neuron  unit  and  are  discussed  together  for  that  reason.  Diseases  involving  these  structures  result  in  muscle  weakness.  The  peripheral  nerves  also  have  sensory  and  autonomic  fibers,  and—unlike  diseases  of  muscle,  which  result  in  motor  dysfunction  alone—peripheral  nerve  diseases  are  manifested  by  a  combination  of  motor  and  sensory  loss.
