Flashcards
Pyramidal Tracts
Pyramidal Tracts
Descending motor pathways that originate in the cerebral cortex, responsible for voluntary muscle control and fine motor skills.
Extrapyramidal Tracts
Extrapyramidal Tracts
Descending motor pathways that do not originate in the cerebral cortex, responsible for involuntary movements, posture, and muscle tone.
Exteroceptors
Exteroceptors
Sensory receptors that respond to stimuli from the external environment, such as pain, temperature, and pressure.
