The basic "principal" behind somatic motor pathways is a pathway from your "brain" or regions in or near the brain where nerve impluses travel from and go to skeletal muscle to cause a muscle contraction. (It's complicated, but doesn't get any more basic than this) -Jordan Bourne
What else can I help you with?
What is principle of final common path as it pertains to somatic motor pathways?
The principle of final common path states that all somatic motor pathways converge on the alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord. These alpha motor neurons innervate skeletal muscles to produce movement. This convergence allows for integration of input from multiple sources before initiating a motor response.
Is Conduction through the autonomic efferent chain is faster than conduction in the somatic motor system?
False!
What structure is the effector for the somatic motor stimulation?
The effector for somatic motor stimulation is the skeletal muscle. Somatic motor neurons innervate these muscles, leading to voluntary movements. The motor unit, consisting of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates, is responsible for muscle contraction in response to somatic motor stimulation.
Where is the somatic motor cortex?
The somatic motor cortex is located in the human brain. It can be found in the posterior portion of the frontal lobe.
What is the neurotransmitter in a somatic motor pathway?
The neurotransmitter in a somatic motor pathway is acetylcholine. It is released by motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle contraction.
How many motor neurons are involved in the descending motor pathways?
two motor neurons are always involved in descending motor pathways. the upper motor neuron and the lower motor neuron.
Where are somatic motor neurons located?
in the CNS
Would damage to somatic motor neurons impair micturition?
Damage to somatic motor neurons would not impair micturition, as micturition is primarily controlled by autonomic motor neurons. Somatic motor neurons control voluntary muscle movements, while autonomic motor neurons control involuntary functions like bladder contractions during micturition.
The neurotransmitter released by somatic motor neurons is?
Acetylcholine
What is the functional classification for voluntary nerves?
somatic motor
The motor system is divided into which two systems?
somatic and autonomic
What part of the brain coordinates complex somatic motor patterns?
The cerebellum is the part of the brain that coordinates complex somatic motor patterns by integrating sensory information and coordinating movement.
