The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain because it plays a crucial role in higher brain functions like cognition, memory, and problem-solving. While it does not directly control muscle movement, it does send signals to the motor cortex which then coordinates and controls voluntary muscle movements in the body.

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.

Cerebrum


Muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement?

The muscle that is primarily responsible for bringing about a particular movement is called the prime mover or agonist muscle. It is the main muscle that contracts to create the desired movement at a joint. Antagonist muscles work in opposition to the prime mover to control the movement and prevent injury.


Which fiber tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas?

The corticospinal tract carries impulses from the cerebrum to lower CNS areas, primarily to control voluntary movements throughout the body. It is involved in motor function and helps in coordinating muscle movements.


Is a muscle cell a specialized cell?

A muscle cell is specialized to contract and relax in unison with other muscle cells in a muscle tissue when you want to move a certain muscle(controlled by your cerebrum). I hope this answers your question! Ciao!

What are the key differences between hypertonia and hypotonia in terms of muscle tone and movement control?

Hypertonia is characterized by increased muscle tone and stiffness, leading to difficulty in movement control. On the other hand, hypotonia is marked by decreased muscle tone, resulting in poor muscle control and coordination.

What is the Muscle that is predominantly responsible for a movement?

The muscle type responsible for body movements is skeletal muscle. This type of muscle is under voluntary control (unlike cardiac and smooth muscle) meaning that we can consciously control the movements we make. The specific skeletal muscle responsible for movement will depend on what movement is being made.
