Motor Systems - LectureCapture Flashcards
Path of the corticospinal and corticonuclear projections
Descend through internal capsule -> cerebral peduncle -> basilar pons -> pyramids -> forms A/L corticospinal systems
What is the primary motor cortex?
Pre central gyrus
Where is the supplementary motor cortex located?
Above the pre/post central gyri
Where is the cortical micturition center located?
On the supplementary motor area, medial superior frontal gyrus for voluntary motor control in pre central gyrus
