Exam 7: The Motor System

Sensory processing can be done simultaneously.

In order to move, your muscles are required to attach to both an origin and a(n):

In order to fire, mirror neurons require an action to have a(n):

It is hypothesized that the cerebellum may control nonmotor as well as motor functions. Evidence for this is the fact that:

Axons are sent out to the muscles by the:

The lateral orbitofrontal loop of the Basal ganglia is involved with:

The Basal Ganglia communicate with the cortex thorough a series of _______.

Our ability to understand the thoughts and feelings of others is referred to as:

Brain-computer interface technologies are a critical tool in helping individuals with motor difficulties communicate with the outside world, and in helping individuals bridge the brain-to-muscle communication gap.

It is possible for brain stimulation to cause a feeling of having moved without having actually moved.

The faster a muscle contracts, the ____ the fibers.

The oculomotor loop of the Basal ganglia is involved with:

Gamma motor neurons are involved in:

Type II muscle fibers are fast-twitch, and therefore are used for:

Basket cells wrap around the Purkinje cell bodies, but stellate cells connect to Purkinje cells by way of the:

Which ion is necessary for the contraction of a muscle to occur?

A higher-order function, such as planning, is done toward the posterior end of the brain.

Muscles contain organs that tell the rest of the nervous system how far the muscle is contracting and how hard it is working.

The inhibitory feedback mechanism, which allows for muscular relaxation when the opponent muscle is contracting, is lost when one suffers from:

Complex movements are coded for by:
