Neuromotor basis for motor control - Coggle Diagram
Neuromotor basis for motor control
The CNS and the Brain
The brain
Cortex areas involved in movement
Primary motor cortex
Located in the frontal lobe.
Has motor neurons, sending axons to specific skeletal muscles
Premotor area
Anterior to primary motor cortex and organize movement before they are initiated
Rhythmic coordination and specialized movement
Supplementary motor area
Medial surface of the frontal lobe
Control sequential movements
Preparing and organize movements
Parietal lobe
Controlling voluntary movement
Integrating movement preparation and execution
The brainstem
Pons which is responsible for balance
Connected to the spinal, so it can transmits the impulse to motor neurons
Reticular formation, for motor control
Limbic system
Group of brain structures consisting of parts of the:
Frontal lobes
Temporal lobes
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
It is the learning motor skills :
Cerebellum
Attached to the midbrain for the transmission of impulses
Important for
Parietal Lobe (sensory cortex)
Integrates input for movements
Helps with movement execution
The spinal cord
Gray Matter
Posterior dorsal horns containing sensory neurons
Anterior ventral horns containing alpha motor
White matter
Basal ganglia
Helps to control movement
Basal Ganglia
Thalamus
Motor cortex
Planning and initiating movement
Control force and antagonistic muscles during movement
Supplementary Motor Area
Prepares and organizes movement
Controls sequential movements
