Place the following steps in order for motor control.1. Upper motor neurons stimulate lower motor neurons.2. Sensory information is relayed back to the cerebellum so movement can be modified if needed.3. Upper motor neurons in the premotor cortex select a motor program.4. Lower motor neurons stimulate a skeletal muscle to contract.5. The basal nuclei enable the thalamus to stimulate upper motor neurons of the primary cortex."
a. 5, 3, 1, 4, 2 b. 3, 5, 1, 4, 2 c. 3, 5, 1, 2, 4 d. 2, 5, 3, 1, 4"
Mark the following statements on the role of the brain in movement as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement. a. The dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra enhance the actions of the caudate nucleus and putamen. b. The cerebellum monitors the initiation of movement but does not monitor ongoing movements. c. The basal nuclei inhibit inappropriate movements and are required for the initiation of movement. d. The correction of motor error by the cerebellum can occur over the long term by motor learning
Upper motor neuron damage:
Results in activation of the extensor reflex
Results in activation of the fight or flight response
Results in weakness that becomes spasticity
Results in spasticity that becomes flaccidity

- Explain the descending pathway from the brain where Mr. D decides to move his right leg to the actual movement of his quadriceps. (Use complete sentences.) Use key words in this order: primary motor cortex in precentral gyrus, frontal lobe, descending tract, decussate, ventral horn with motor neuron in lumbar spinal cord, ventral root, spinal nerve, sciatic nerve in lumbosacral plexus, muscles to move leg (ie. quadriceps)to take a step.arrow_forwardHuntington’s disease causes too much ballistic movement due to which of the following reasons? Group of answer choices Loss of the inhibitory connection between the striatum and the globus pallidus external Loss of the inhibitory connection between the striatum and the globus pallidus internal Loss of the inhibitory connection between the globus pallidus external and the globus pallidus internal Increased activity of globus pallidus internal neuronsarrow_forwardThe area of the brain that is involved in balance and fine-tuning movements is the cerebral cortex thalamus infundibulum cerebellumarrow_forward
- Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Ataxia are motor dysfunctions. Describe and explain the hallmarks/symptoms and the affected brain regions /neurons affected per each disorder. (answer max 12 sentences)arrow_forwardAmong the followings which does not indicate the stimulation of parasympathetic system? A. Contriction of skeletal muscle blood and vasodilation of renla blood B. Excitation of the blood flow to the kidneys and smooth muscles of Gl tract C. Inhibition of heart rate and amooth muscles of the urinary bladder Excitation of the smooth muscles of the urinary bladder and Gl tractarrow_forwardWhich brain region involved in action control is incorrectly paired with its function? a. Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) - Plans and coordinates internal thoughts and external actions b. Cerebellum - Motor learning, monitor action online, coordinates the timing and trajectory of movement c. Frontal Eye Fields (FEF) - Execution of voluntary eye movements d. Supplementary Motor Area (SMA) - Responds to observed and self-enacted actionarrow_forward
- Discuss the areas of the brain involved in voluntary control of movement.arrow_forwardA gymnast is able to maintain a steady posture while on a balance beam. In order to maintain balance, the gymnast would need to see the balance beam and determine where her feet are touching it. She would need to control the muscle contractions in her body to ensure she doesn’t fall off the beam. The regions of the brain numbered above that are involved directly in maintaining balance are Answer, Answer, Answer, and Answer. Record your answer in descending (highest to lowest) order.arrow_forwardStarting with the frontal lobe, trace every neuron in a voluntary somatic motor action such as kicking a ball (contracting the quadriceps) or throwing a ball (contracting the triceps).arrow_forward
