What region of the brain has gross crossover of fibers of descending pyramidal tracts?
延髓 (Medulla)
What are the types of neurons that can be found in the external granular and external pyramidal layers of neocortex?
in external granular (layer 2) = stellate + small pyramidal neuronsin external pyramidal (layer 3) = medium pyramidal neurons
What are the subdivisions of the brain called?
the subdivisions of the brain is called hemisphere.
What is the basis on which the subdivisions of the geological time scale are made for?
what is the basis on which subdivisions are made
What is the molecular shape of ammonia?
pyramidal
Two terms for the massive motor tracts serving voluntary movements are?
The two massive motor tracts serving voluntary movements are pyramidal and corticospinal.
What is the difference between pyramidal and extrapyramidal system?
The Similarity: Pyramidal and extra-pyramidal system are the descending tracts (motor tracts) of spinal cord.The Difference:1) Their tracts -Pyramidal system = lateral and anterior corticospinal tracts + corticobulbar tractExtra-pyramidal system = rubrospinal + olivospinal + lateral and medial reticulospinal + tectospinal + vestibulospinal tracts2) "Extrapyramidal tracts" don't reach their targets by traveling through the "pyramids of medulla". Pyramidal tracts go through the pyramids of medulla.3) Pyramidal tracts may directly innervate motor neurons of spinal cord or brainstem (anterior horn cells or certain cranial nerve nuclei). But, extrapyramidal tractsindirectly control the anterior horn cells (for modulation and regulation)4) Pyramidal system is responsible for fine, isolated, precise and specific movements. Extrapyramidal system is responsible for gross, syngergic movements which require the activity of large groups of muscles
What area has axons that form the major pyramidal tracts?
Primary motor cortex
Two terms for the massive motor tracts serving voluntary movement?
pyramidal and corticospinal
What region of the brain has gross crossover of fibers of descending pyramidal tracts?
延髓 (Medulla)
What are the extra-pyramidal tracts that cross to the opposite site of spinal cord?
Rubrospinal tractTectospinal tractLateral reticulospinal tract
Primary motor area sends impulses via to control skeletal muscles?
The primary motor cortex send nervous impulses via the pyramidal cells, down the pyramidal tracts in the spinal cord.
What is theprecentral gyrus?
The precentral gyrus is in the cerebrum and can be found in the frontal lob of the forebrain. Its function is to begin pyramidal nerve tracts.
What is the location and function of the pyramidal cells and tracts of the brain?
Location: Medulla oblongata Function: To transmit nerve impulses from one side of the body to the other
If you suspect pyramidal tract lesion what do you check?
Disorders of the pyramidal tracts are characterized by spasticity and paralysis (e.g., stroke). The pyramidal motor system originating in the motor cortex provides control of delicate muscle movement. Tracts of the pyramidal motor system are the corticospinal tract, cortibulbar tract, coricopontine. It is often difficult to delineate a pyramidal from an extrapyramidal lesion during a clinical assessment.

Is Spastcity pyramidal or extra pyramidal?
pyramidal
Descending tracts within the spinal cord carry what kind of impulses to the muscles?
To make it simple, they are 3 types of descending (efferent) tracts of spinal cord:Pyramidal tracts = lateral and anterior corticospinal tracts + corticobulbar tractExtra-pyramidal tracts= Vestibulospinal + Reticulospinal (Lateral and medial) + Olivospinal + Rubrospinal + Tectospinal tractsDescending autonomic
