4. Dorsolateral Motor System 200 The cell bodies of these neurons are located in somatically organized areas of the precentral gyrus. The axons of these neurons travel in the lateral corticospinal tract. What are upper motor neurons? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

5. Dorsolateral Motor System 300 The cell bodies of these neurons are located in somatically organized areas of the ventral horn. The axons of these neurons travel in the peripheral nervous system and innervate skeletal muscle. What are lower motor neurons? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

Ventromedial Motor System 300 What are the ventromedial lower motor neuron pools, bilaterally? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

11. This tract is located in the anterior column (funiculus) and consists of upper motor neurons originating in the ipsilateral primary motor cortex. Ventromedial Motor System 400 What is the ventral (anterior) corticospinal tract? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

12. Ventromedial Motor System 500 This pathway originates in the brainstem, descends in the lateral column (funiculus) and is concerned with the control of posture (particularly extensor muscles) as well as the coordination of head and eye movement. What is the lateral vestibulospinal tract? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

13. Motor Neurons 100 They convey movement commands from motor control centers in the cortex and brainstem to lower motor centers located at segmental levels of the neuraxis. What are upper motor neurons ? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

14. Motor Neurons 200 They are located in the peripheral nervous system and convey movement commands from cranial nerve nuclei or the ventral horn of the spinal cord to skeletal muscle in the head and body, respectively. What are lower motor neurons ? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

15. Motor Neurons 300 They are located in the peripheral nervous system and convey movement commands from cranial nerve nuclei or the ventral horn of the spinal cord to extrafusal muscle fibers in the head and body, respectively. What are alpha lower motor neurons? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

16. Motor Neurons 400 They are located in the peripheral nervous system and convey movement commands from segmental motor control centers to intra- and extrafusal muscles fibers, simultaneously. They couple the alpha and gamma motor systems They are more common in reptiles than mammals. Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question What are beta lower motor neurons?

17. Motor Neurons 500 They increase the sensitivity of intrafusal muscles fibers to the phasic portion of a change in muscle length. What are dynamic gamma motor neurons? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

18. Miscellaneous 100 This physiological mapping of the cortex depicts a distorted representation of the body. Body parts are portrayed proportional to the amount of brain space dedicated to the control of movement of that body part. Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question What is the motor homunculus?

19. Miscellaneous 200 This spinal pathway originates in the contralateral cerebral cortex and is concerned with the control of manipulation and fractionated movement of distal limb segments (particularly the hand). What is the lateral corticospinal tract? Return to Return to Game Board Game Board Click to reveal the question

20. Miscellaneous 300 This pathology causes brain damage that produces limitations in the ability to move due to paresis and spasticity. The movement deficits caused by this pathology appear on the side of the body opposite the brain damage. What is a stroke or cerebrovascular accident?
