Somatic- Volntary Skeletal Flashcards
Sns Innervate to/from all
Skeletal muscle
Somatic nervous system: voluntary control of skeletal muscle
Provide conscious, voluntary control
Sns outgoing dependent upon
Tracts leaving the cortex, traveling down the spinal column and synapsing with new motor neurons before exiting the cns
Sns efferent nerves leaving the cns now traveling
As apart of the pns, an synapsing directly with muscle–> causing/firing muscle movement
Sns incoming afferent nerves entering the cns coming directly
From skin or muscle ( temp,pressure, pain, texture)
Sns incoming nerves synapse with
Other sensory neurons along he way now traveling as part of cns –> providing sensory info form the pns
Close laptop lid Brain pathway
Premotor to plan- primary motor- projection fibers (corona radiati/ internal capsule)- basal ganglia to edit- cerebellum to fix once start
And reflex arcs provide
Conscious, voluntary Control
Reflex arc directly mapped/linked
Sensory-motor system in the pns
Reflex arc located
At the level of the spinal nerves involved in the pns
Reflex ace bypasses the
Cns altogether and provides for immediate responses to external stimuli
Act in a protective manner to minimize danger
Upper motor neurons are all located
In the cns- cell body
Axons from UMNs do not leave the cns …
They remain within the brain, brainstem, and/or the spinal cord
UMNs originate in the
Premotor cortex of the frontal lobe
Axons of the UMN corticospinal tracts and
corticobulbar tracts
