◉ where is the skeletal muscle contraction initiated by LMS happen
Answer: Spinal cord
◉ cell bodies of LMNs are located in the
Answer: ventral horn of SC
◉ LMNs are also known as
Answer: a motor neurons
◉ LMns send axons directly to
Answer: skeletal muscles
◉ LMNS are known as the
Answer: final common pathway
◉ LMNS are final common pathway for
,Answer: motor control, receiving input from all higher motor
centers and local circuits.
◉ Descending systems (UMN) are responsible for from the motor
cortex)
Answer: planning, initiating, and directing voluntary movements
◉ Descending systems (UMN) are responsible For brain stem
centers region
Answer: or rhythmic, stereotyped movements and postural control
◉ Basal Ganglia helps with what kind of movement and suppresses
what kind of movement
Answer: helps with imitation of intended movement and suppresses
unwanted movement.
◉ cerebellum is crucial for what
Answer: coordination of ongoing movement, detection of movement
and correcting motor errors
◉ Local circuit Neurons are found where
Answer: Spinal cord and brain stem
, ◉ local circuit neurons perform and generate what?
Answer: perform sensorimotor integration, generate central
patterns for rhythmic movements.
◉ Motor Neuron Pools (Lower Motor Neurons) are
Answer: final common pathway that directly innervate skeletal
muscles.
◉ Spinal Cord and Brainstem Circuits do what
Answer: integrate sensory inputs and local circuit activity to
influence lower motor neurons.
◉ Upper Motor Neurons (UMN) have cell bodies in the
Answer: brain stem or motor cortex
◉ UMNS axons descend to do what with the LCN or less commonly
with LMNs directly?
Answer: synapse
◉ UMNs are essential for the
Answer: initiation of voluntary movements
◉ UMNs are essential also for the
