spinal cord:
pre motor coretex
motor cortex
thalmus recivrf info from all recetprso.
snesation is reponsible for movement.
alpha and gamma motor neurons
located in the anterior horn of grey substantia
muscle spindle of
gamma = motor innervation
center of each interfusal muscle fiber to sensory nueorns, 1B to alpha motor nuerons.
whole interfusal muscle fibers are surrounded by connective tissue sheath whcih
sepeartes the extrafusal muscle fibers from the from all levels of the spinal cord.
GOLGI TENDON ORGAN: each sketal msucle inside of a tendon, has a golgi tendon
organ.
is responsible for protection during much more powerful.
golgi: protection of body. against damage.
alpha motor nueron sonly innervate extrafusal motor neurons
Gamma spind,e
Only miusclse splindle
Gamma alpha motor
receptor in muscle spindle, impuslses travel along sensory neuron to spinal cord to alpha
motor neuron, and stimulate the muscle alpha motor neurons, and also inhibitor motor
neuron is
hyperpoloization of
stretch reflex
inverse stretch reflex: GOLGI organ tendon. spnal cord to inhibit . if u can lift something
up u blocked the reflex.
interneurons are responsible for inhibiting the antagonistic muscle.
Gamma spind,e
Only miusclse splindle
Gamma alpha motor
ventromedial pathways
lateral erticulopspinal pathways
rubrospinal pathways
ventromedial pathways:
three elements:
vestibuspinal tract: originates from vestiubonuclei for balance. for control of equilibrium.
medical reticulospinal tract: control the motion of extensors.
lateral reticulospinal tract controls flexors motinos.
tectospinal tract: originates from textum crossin in opposite sides. stimulate alpha and
gamma motor neurons. control head and eye movements.
Rubrospinaltract: nerve fibers cross to the brain stem to the alpha and gamma motor
neurons.
Same somatictopic fashion as area #4 in motor cortex.
Cortical spinal tracT: control alpha and gamma neurons..
Cerebellum: 3 functions:
planning of movement
Control of posture and equilibrium
Smooth limb movement
Example dance, writing with a pen, control fine movement.
Communicate through subcortical
Functinoal classification of cerebellum:
policular nodular lobe and vermis: control the balance. Middle portion of cerebellum
controls our equilibrium.
Intermediate zone. On teh right or left hand side, control our limbs, extrafusal muscle
fiberes.
