Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 8ILQ
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/motorpathway) to learn more about the descending motor pathway for the somatic nervous system. The autonomic connections are mentioned, which are covered in another chapter. From this brief video, only some of the descending motor pathway of the somatic nervous system is described. Which division of the pathway is described and which division is left out?

- The primary motor cortex is located in which cerebral structure? a. precentral gyrus b. postcentral gyrus c. motor speech area d. prefrontal cortexarrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/basalnuclei2) to learn about the basal nuclei (also knownas the basal ganglia), which have two pathways that process information within the cerebrum. As shown in this video,the indirect pathway is the longer pathway through thesystem that results in decreased activity in the cerebralcortex, and therefore less motor activity. The indirectpathway has an extra couple of connections in it, includingdisinhibition of the subthalamic nucleus. What is the endresult on the thalamus, and therefore on movement initiatedby the cerebral cortex?arrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/graymatter) to learn about the gray matter of the spinalcord that receives input from fibers of the dorsal (posterior)root and sends information out through the fibers of theventral (anterior) root. As discussed in this video, theseconnections represent the interactions of the CNS withperipheral structures for both sensory and motor functions.The cervical and lumbar spinal cords have enlargements asa result of larger populations of neurons. What are theseenlargements responsible for?arrow_forward
