  2. Fine motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_motor_skill

    Fine motor skill (or dexterity) is the coordination of small muscles in movement with the eyes, hands and fingers. The complex levels of manual dexterity that humans exhibit can be related to the nervous system .

  3. Proprioception and motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception_and_Motor...

    This feedback allows for more fine control of movement. In the brain, proprioceptive integration occurs in the somatosensory cortex, and motor commands are generated in the motor cortex. In the spinal cord, sensory and motor signals are integrated and modulated by motor neuron pools called central pattern generators (CPGs).

  4. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    Motor control is the regulation of movements in organisms that possess a nervous system. ... but fine motor control became very difficult. [25]

  5. Motor cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cortex

    The motor cortex is the region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements. The motor cortex is an area of the frontal lobe located in the posterior precentral gyrus immediately anterior to the central sulcus. Motor cortex controls different muscle groups

  6. Motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_skill

    A motor skill is a function that involves specific movements of the body's muscles to perform a certain task. These tasks could include walking, running, or riding a bike. In order to perform this skill, the body's nervous system, muscles, and brain have to all work together.

  7. Lateral corticospinal tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_corticospinal_tract

    It controls fine movement of ipsilateral limbs (albeit contralateral to the corresponding motor cortex) as it lies distal to the pyramidal decussation. Control of more central axial and girdle muscles comes from the anterior corticospinal tract .

  8. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    A woman exercising. In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking.This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.

  9. Upper motor neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_motor_neuron

    The major function of this pathway is fine voluntary motor control of the limbs. The pathway also controls voluntary body posture adjustments. corticobulbar tract: from the motor cortex to several nuclei in the pons and medulla oblongata: Involved in control of facial and jaw musculature, swallowing and tongue movements.
