lateral corticospinal tract -this would be the most major one
anterior corticospinal tract - to a lesser extent
a lesion of the rubrospinal tract would affect voluntary movement but not cause a lack of it

What is the difference between spinal vertebrae and spinal column?
vertebre are the little disks in between cartilage, it allows movement, the spinal collumn is what they are attached to
Why do patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have trouble with physical movement?
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a degenerative disease of the nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement. These voluntary muscle movements include the kind of physical movement that Stephen Hawking cant do. Neurons send messages to muscles - the lack of them means these messages are not being sent. As more messages are lost, muscles begin to weaken, twitching begins to occur, and eventually the victim is unable to move their limbs or body.
What level of the spinal cord is damaged to cause urinary incontinence?
Parasympathetic nerves from the S2, S3 and S4 levels of your spinal cord cause the upper part of your bladder to contract and your bladder neck to relax, assisting in the process of micturition (urination). If these are damaged you will have bladder control problems.
A nerve impulse that originates in the precentral gyrus of the cerebrum?
A nerve impulse that originates in the precentral gyrus of the cerebrum is responsible for initiating voluntary muscle movements. It travels along the corticospinal tract, crosses over to the opposite side of the brainstem, and descends through the spinal cord to reach the muscles that are involved in the intended movement. This process allows for precise and coordinated control of voluntary movements throughout the body.
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses from the central nerous system causing muscle fibers to contract?
The motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles. These impulses may be generated autonomically (instinctively) or through voluntary control by the brain.
What spinal tracts might be damaged if uncoordinated movement is observed?
the spinocerebellar tract
What determines the extent of paralysis?
The extent to which movement and sensation are damaged depends on the level of the spinal cord injury.
What determines paralysis and loss of sensation?
The extent to which movement and sensation are damaged depends on the level of the spinal cord injury.
What spinal tract is damaged if you have uncoordinated movement?
cerebellum.because, it co-ordinates mascular activities when we walk , jump, run etc and maintain the balance of body.if we have uncoordinated movement , may be the cerebellum is damaged.
What happens when the spinal cord is damaged?
When your spinal cord is damaged you may not be able to walk
Voluntary movements are under the control of the?
The somatic nervous system controls the skeletal system and voluntary movement by stimulating muscle contraction. Parts of the somatic nervous system are spinal nerves, cranial nerves, association nerves.
What part of the nervous system is affected if someone cannot walk after an accident?
The damage is to the voluntary nervous system, that controls muscular movement. This is associated with either brain or spinal injuries.
Are you going to die if a bone in the spinal cord is damaged?
Though everyone will die someday a damaged bone in the spinal cord is not necessarily terminal.
How might stem cells help when the spinal cord is damaged?
The stem cell uses the special regenerative cells which will help when the spinal cord is damaged.
What happens to my body if my spinal cord is damaged?
Paralyzed.
Why is a spinal reflex more rapid than a voluntary movement?
AnswerBecause a reflex action is automatic and does not involve a thought process.Edit: A reflex action only has to go to the spinal cord and then back to the limb, whereas a voluntary reaction has to go to the brain to be processed and therefore takes longer.
What would happen to you if the middle of your spinal cord was damaged?
you will be paralized
