Components of motor neurons
• Upper motor neuron (corticospinal & corticobulbar).
Starts from motor cortex and ends in 1. Cranial nerve nucleus (corticobulbar).2. Anterior horn of spinal cord in opposite
side(corticospinal tracts).• Lower Motor NeuronStarts from anterior horn of spinal cord and ends in
appropriate muscle of the same side.eg. All peripheral motor nerves.

Motor cortex
• Primary motor cortex ( M1)• Premotor area (PMA)• Supplementary motor area (SMA)Note: All the three projects directly to the spinal cord
via corticospinal tract.• Premotor and supplementary motor cortex
also project to primary motor cortex and is involved in coordinating & planning complex sequences of movement (motor learning).
![Page 13: Motor system](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58877a621a28ab63208b49c7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Primary Motor Cortex (M-I)
Location :-Immediately anterior to the central sulcus and
extends to the medial surface of hemisphere also known as Broadmann’s area 4 is a motor homunculus.
Description: Body is represented as up side down and stretched on the medial surface where pelvic and leg muscles are represented.
Hand and mouth has a greater area of representation and is large because of frequently used (skill).
![Page 14: Motor system](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58877a621a28ab63208b49c7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
- It controls the musculature of the opposite side of the body.
- Face area is bilaterally represented.Functions:- Is used in execution of skilled movements also in
codes the direction, force and velocity of movements.
Lesions:- Pure M-I lesions are rare. May have contra lateral
weakness in distal muscle (fingers).Ability to control fine movements is gone.Ablation of M-I alone cause hypotonia not Spasticity.

Supplementary Motor Area (M-II)
Location: Found on both in lateral and medial aspect of the
frontal lobe. It extends from cingulate sulcus on the medial side to reach premotor cortex on the lateral surface of the brain.
Function:It works together with premotor cortex.Involved in programming of motor sequences. Lesions: Produces awkwardness in performing complex
activity like bimanual coordinated activity.
![Page 16: Motor system](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58877a621a28ab63208b49c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It function in mental rehearsal of movements before performing a complex motor functions.
With premotor cortex it translates the desire to perform a motor task into a series of motor command that will do the task.
![Page 17: Motor system](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58877a621a28ab63208b49c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Premotor Cortex (PMC)
Location:Broadmann’s area 6. It lies immediately anterior to
primary motor cortex. It is more extensive than primary motor cortex (about 6 times)
Functions: It works with the help of basal ganglia, thalamus,
primary motor cortex, posterior parietal cortex. It plays role in planning and anticipation of a specific motor act.
![Page 18: Motor system](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58877a621a28ab63208b49c7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lesion:It results in re-emergence of suckling and
grasp reflex in adults. Its lesion do not case paralysis but only
slowing of the complex limb movement.Lesion may result in loss of short-term or
working memory.When damaged with supplementary cortex it
may result in APRAXIA.

FUNCTIONS• Controls primarily distal muscle which are finely
controlling the skilled movements of thumb & fingers on the opposite side.eg. Painting writing, picking up of a small object etc.
Effect of lesion: loss of distal motor function in opposite side.
Pure corticospinal tract lesion cause hypotonia instead of spasticity
The reason is that pure pyramidal tract lesion is very very rare, and spasticity is due to loss of inhibitory control of extrapyramidal tract.

EXTRAPYRAMIDAL SYSTEM
Definition: Tracts other than corticospinal tract are
known as Extrapyramidal tract.
The word extrapyramidal is slowly being replaced
by Corticonuclear & corticobulbar tracts.

Pontine and medullary nuclei projects to the anterior horn of the spinal cord.
Functions: influence motor functions as for example voluntary & reflex movement and is also responsible for the muscle tone.

Function is unknown
