While initial control of skeletal muscles occurs with the motor cortex, a successful movement also requires efferent feedback from joint, tendon and other proprio- ception sensors. Ultimately, complete control and coordination of motor movements requires the operation of: a. The cerebellum b. The hippocampus c. The vestibular apparatus d. The lateral ventricles

How would you explain the following observation? When motor nerve fibers in the leg are severed, the muscles they innervate become paralyzed; however, in time, control over the muscles often returns.

Rachel is out playing in the dirt and cuts herself, unbeknownest to her a bacteria enters her system and moves retrogradely through the peripheral nerves to enter the central nervous system. Once there its toxins begin to interfere with the release of the neurotransmitter Glycine from the upper motor neurons of the direct motor pathway. this would lead to Group of answer choices spastic paralysis and atrophy of muscle tissue flaccid paralysis and atrophy of muscle tissue spastic paralysis and maintaining or increasing muscle tissue flaccid paralysis and maintaining or increasing muscle tissue not enough information is given to determine the correct response
We've referred to alpha-motor neurons as the "decision making centre" for whether or not a muscle fibre contracts. Which of the following statements are true with regards to his concept? Select all that apply. O Alpha motor neurons receive input from many different sources, the balance of which determines whether or not the alpha-motor neuron fires an action potential O Alpha motor neurons are involved in conscious decision making in our central nervous system for planning and executing movements O When an action potential is initiated in an alpha-motor neuron, we are guaranteed an action potential in the muscle fibre, and hence contraction of that fibre. This means the muscle itself does not determine whether or not it contracts O Alpha motor neurons report information on where we are in space (proprioception) back to the central nervous system
Put the following events in chronological order. (Some of the steps may be missing.)1) Ca*+ floods into the pre-synaptic neuron.2) ch (Acetylcholine) binds to ACh receptors in the sarcolemma.3) Na+ floods into the post-synaptic muscle cell.4) The A.P arrives at the pre-synaptic terminal causing Ca+ channels to open.5) Ach from the synaptic vesicles spills into the pre-synaptic cleft.6) A post-synaptic action potential results in the muscle fiber (depolarization
