Which statement about cat locomotion is true? Flexors are not important during the swing phase. Extensors do not have an important role during the stance phase. It is controlled by groups of spinal central pattern generators (CPGs) that produces left and right alternate gaits activity. Gaits in left and right legs are always synchronized together

The role of muscle spindles in the maintenance of the upright posture depends upon all the following, except :-a- contraction of the peripheral contractile part of spindle fibersb- increased sensory discharge from spindles of postural musclesc- increased supraspinal facilitation to the γ-motor neurons of postural musclesd- presence of greater numbers of spindles in postural muscles
How do brainstem upper motor neurons regulate movement? a. This system utilizes a central pattern generator to regulate repetitive and rhythmic movements. b. This system is activated when you need to modify your movement depending on environmental conditions, such as adjusting to the weight and speed of an object. c. This system permits rapid motor reactions to unexpected changes in the environment. d. This system is activated when you perform a skilled movement, such as completing an expert golf swing or performing a gymnastics routine. e. This system permits movement initiation from a stationary position, such as standing up from a sitting position
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
