Explain the descending pathway from the brain where Mr. Dexter 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.
In some cases, phantom limb pain appears to be related to the patient's perception that the phantom limb is held in an uncomfortable position.
