motor tracts Flashcards
1
Q
what are the motor pathways?
A
corticospinal tract, corticobrainstem tract, vestibulospinal tract, tectospinal tract, reticulospinal tract, rubrospinal tract
2
Q
vestibulospinal tract
A
facilitates extensor and postural muscles
3
Q
rubrospinal tract
A
facilitates flexor muscles in limbs
4
Q
medullary (lateral) reticulospinal tracts
A
inhibits extensor muscles
5
Q
pontine (medial) reticulospinal tracts
A
facilitates extensor muscles
6
Q
lateral corticospinal tracts
A
Execution of movement, fine motor control: skeletal muscles of the ULs, LLs.
7
Q
Corticobrainstem tracts
A
Execution of movement: facial, neck, swallowing, shoulder muscles
8
Q
Medial corticospinal tracts
A
Execution of postural control: skeletal muscles of the neck, shoulders, trunk
