[edit] Motor nuclei of the cranial nerves
| Column 1 | Column 2 (memorize)
|
| What cranial nerves innervate extraocular muscles? | 1) Oculomotor complex (III), trochlear nucleus (IV), and abducens nucleus (VI).
|
[edit] Overview of descending motor systems
| Column 1 | Column 2 (memorize)
|
| What are the major sources of descending motor tracts in the forebrain and brain stem? | Motor cortex, superior colliculus, red nucleus, reticular formation of the medulla, recticular formation of the pons, medial vestibular nucleus, and lateral vestibular nucleus.
|
[edit] Corticospinal tract
The lateral and anterior corticospinal tract was labelled on the Somatosensory lab 2 quiz at the cervical level.
| Column 1 | Column 2 (memorize)
|
| How can you recognize a slice of primary motor cortex (M1)? | Very large pyramidal cells in layer V, called Betz cells and by the apparent absence of layer IV.
|
| What is the primary motor (M1) cortex also called? Why? | Agranular cortex, because it seems to lack layer IV granule cells. It is also called BA 4.
|
| What are the motor cortices? | Primary motor, premotor, and secondary motor cortex.
|
| What does the pyramidal tract consist of? | Corticofugal axons (motor axons that leave the cerebral cortex) and corticospinal axons.
|
| Corticofugal and corticospinal axons terminate near clusters of what kind of neuron in the spinal cord? | α-motor neuron
