Motor Physio 1 Flashcards
——serves as a conduit for signal from—— to—— and vice versa
Spinal cord
periphery
brain
———-contains the final command pathway through which movement is executed
Spinal cord
Mention 4 things your spinal cord can do even without higher centers
Walking movements Withdrawal of body parts from a stimulus Control blood flow GI movements Stiffen leg to support the body against gravity
Lower brain is made up of—-,—-,—,——-,—-,—— and——-
medulla
pons
mesencephalon(midbrain)
diencephalon(hypothalamus)
thalamus
cerebellum
basal ganglia
Lower brain help in the ——-and——
subconscious control
emotional patterns
——- is a large memory storehouse
Cortical or Higher brain
Cortical or Higher brain never functions alone
T/F
T
without the cerebral cortex, lower Brain functions are usually——-
not precise
——— is essential for the thought process
Cortical or Higher brain
idea of movement is generated in the————
cortical association areas
idea is then sent to ——where it is organized into——-
motor areas
motor commands
command is sent through ——to ——-for execution
brain stem
spinal cord
——- is the major relay station for all motor commands except——
Brain stem
those requiring great precision
——— is responsible for maintaining normal posture during motor activities
Brain stem
———provides the motor patterns necessary to maintain postural support
Basal ganglia
——-receives info from motor cortex on nature of intended movement
Cerebellum
——receives info from spinal cord on how well the movement is being performed
Cerebellum
all voluntary movements require a conscious activity in the cerebral cortex .
T/F
T
———divides the cerebral cortex into —— and ———
central sulcus
Motor cortex
Sensory cortex
MOTOR CORTEX occupies approximately——- of——-
posterior 1/3
frontal lobes
