what type of fibers do alpha motor neurons supply
extrafusal fibers of skeletal muscle
what type of fibers do gamma motorneurons supply
intrafusal fibers of neuromuscular spindles
what are interneurons
link one neuron to another may converge signal on one neuron or disperse signal to many neurons for control
what are renshaw interneurons
glycergenic interneurons that are excited by collateral processes of excited alpah motorneurons. They act as the off switch inhibiting the alph motorneuron which excited them
which tracts control the flexor motor system and fine movement
corticospinal (lateral and anterior)
rubrospinal
tectospinal
which tracts regulate antigravity muscles (extensors) posture and balance
reticulospinal tract
vestibulospinal tract
(lateral and medial)
what composes the upper motor system
nerves from the cerebral cortex to the junction with inter and peripheral nerves
what composes the lower motor system
the interneurons and alpha motor neurons
