Solution

Upper motor neurons are located in the primary motor area. They are responsible for initiating voluntary movements, not involuntary ones. They do not directly innervate skeletal muscles; instead, they synapse with lower motor neurons which then innervate skeletal muscles. They do not control smooth muscle, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Lastly, their cell bodies are not located in the spinal cord, but in the cerebral cortex and brainstem.
