Regulation of muscle tone is a function of cerebellar cortex. Vermis is the region present in the cerebellum, it contains nuclei called fastigial nucleus which is responsible for regulation of muscle tone for locomotion and posture.
Premotor area and primary motor cortex are present in frontal lobe of the brain. Premotor area prepares the muscles to contract and primary motor cortex recieves input from premotor area and basal nuclei to generate impulses that travel across the spino cortical tract, then reaches the motor neurons present in muscles making the muscles to contract.
Regulation of muscle tone is a function of the motor association (premotor) area. the basal nuclei....

3. Be able to identify motor control nuclei in myelin-stained sections from the spinal cord and brainstem. 4. Describe the three major functional divisions of the cerebellum, and their general functions. What part of the cerebellar cortex is represented in each? Which deep cerebellar (or brainstem) nuclei does each division use, and which descending systems does each impinge upon? 5. Describe the intrinsic circuitry of the basal ganglia (cerebral cortex to basal ganglia to thalamus to frontal cortex), including the...
Question 56(4 points) This area of the brain allows you to identify and determine what an object is by touch (such as car keys in your pocket). primary motor cortes primary somatosensory cortex somatosensory association cortex premotor cortex prefrontal cortex
Compare and contrast the functional roles of the supplementary motor area and the premotor cortex.
Damage to the corticospinal tract results in: muscle paralysis on the opposite side of motor cortex if damage occurs at the level of the brain muscle paralysis on the opposite side of the spinal cord if damage occurs at the level of the spinal cord loss of touch sensation on the opposite side of motor cortex if damage occurs at the level of the brain
Which statement about motor neurons is NOT correct? motor neuron pools innervating two different muscles, such as biceps and triceps, have separate non- overlapping locations in the ventral gray matter arranged in longitudinal columns motoneurons in a motor pool are recruited (activated) in rank order according to their size, from small to large small a-motor neurons tepd to innervate a large number of thick, pale muscle fibers that generate large forces but fatigue quickly an equal synaptic current will elicit...
