Upper motor neuronsGroup of answer choicescontrol the upper half of the torso.synapse on muscles in the eye, neck, and head.synapse on local circuit neurons and/or lower motor neurons.affect motor patterns only indirectly via their inputs to the basal ganglia.have cell bodies that are located in the ventral horn of the spinal cord.

Motor neurons with cell bodies in the cerebral cortex or the brainstem are part of which motor system?Group of answer choicesLower motor neuronsUpper motor neuronsBoth lower and upper motor neuronsCerebellumBasal ganglia

Upper motor neurons are found in what three locations?Multiple select question.Medulla oblongataPostcentral gyrusCerebellumPremotor cortexPrecentral gyrus

Many upper motor neuronsMultiple Choiceare responsible for planning involuntary movements.directly innervate skeletal muscles.are located in the primary motor area.control smooth muscle.have cell bodies in the spinal cord.

ortical areas that plan and initiate motor sequencesGroup of answer choicesall fall within the primary motor cortex.comprise five functionally distinct and anatomically isolated regions.comprise several functionally distinct but highly interconnected regions.all receive direct inputs from the basal ganglia.all show a high threshold for the elicitation of motor behaviors.
