There are six important descending, or motor, tracts and their functions in brief are as follows:
1. Lateral corticospinal tracts: voluntary movement, contraction of individual or small groups of muscles, particularly those moving hands, fingers, feet, and toes on opposite side of body
2. Anterior corticospinal tracts: same as preceding except mainly muscles of same side of body
3. Reticulospinal tracts: help maintain posture during skeletal muscle movements
4. Rubrospinal tracts: transmit impulses that coordinate body movements and maintenance of posture
5. Tectospinal tracts: head and neck movement related to visual reflexes
6. Vestibulospinal tracts: coordination of posture and balance

What is descending tract and one ascending tract in upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron?
central nervous system (CNS) is the descending tract and one ascending tract in upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron.
What part of the brain is responsible for motor control?
The motor cortex of the parietal lobe.
What is the Function of upper motor neurons?
Upper motor neurons primarily convey information from your motor cortex to brainstem nuclei (corticobulbar tract) or anterior horn cells in the spinal cord (corticospinal tract). Other tracts exist but are minor or redundant. Upper motor neurons decussate.
A positive finding in an adult represents upper motor neuron disease of the pyramidal tract?

central nervous system (CNS) is the descending tract and one ascending tract in upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron.
What track is the major descending voluntary motor tract?
The corticospinal tract
The pyramidal tract is the major descending voluntary motor tract?
the corticospinal tract and the pyramidal spinal tract are the same tract. yes this tract is the main voluntary motor tract, remember that this tract split in two after the decussation of pyramids (hence the term pyramidal tract) the fibres that do decussate create the lateral portion which innervates the limbs, shoulders and neck the fibers that dont decussate here continue ipsilaterally creating an anterior/ventral portion which innervate the truck, these eventually do decussate at their spinal exit level
What part of the brain is responsible for motor control?
The motor cortex of the parietal lobe.
Which spinal tract regulates voluntary motor control of skeletal muscles on the opposite side of the body?
Lateral Corticospinal Tract
Where do axons of the corticobulbar tract terminate?
motor nuclei of cranial nerves :)
What is the Function of upper motor neurons?
Upper motor neurons primarily convey information from your motor cortex to brainstem nuclei (corticobulbar tract) or anterior horn cells in the spinal cord (corticospinal tract). Other tracts exist but are minor or redundant. Upper motor neurons decussate.
What is the difference between corticobulbar tract and cortico spinal tract?
corticospinal tracts are the tracts of the upper motor neurons which originate in the cortex,(precentral gyrus). They terminate in the spinal cord by synapsing with the lower motor neurons either directly or through an interneuron. lesion to the corticospinal tract results in Spastic paralysis on the opp side if the lesion is above pyramidal decussation or before crossing over. Positive Babinski's sign loss of fine coordination in the distal limbs such as piano playing or typing
What is the nature of business of Honda motor corporation?
automaker
A positive finding in an adult represents upper motor neuron disease of the pyramidal tract?

What spinal tract damage tremors jerky movements?
Upper motor neuron damage gives rise to jerky reflexes.
What is the nature of load connected across dc motor?
heavy load
