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.

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.
