Question
Chapter 15, Problem 22RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The individual is able to move or walk again as he is suffered from fractured skull when a beam falls on his head and there is severe damage to the primary motor cortex.
Concept introduction:
Primary motor cortexes also called upper motor neuron and they have the neurons in which cell bodies lies in a CNS processing center. The density of motor units involved in controlling the region is directly proportional to the area of primary motor cortex for the specific body regions.
