Sequence of Activation
What is the Function and Structure of the Corticospinal Tract?
What is the Function and the Structure of the Pyramidal Tract?
What are the Pyramids of Decussation?
What are the Lower Motor Neurons?

How is the Force of Contraction Altered?
What are Muscle Proprioceptors?
Proprioceptors provide sensory feedback from the muscle itself
Two types of proprioceptor in muscles:
Muscle spindles
Golgi tendon organs
Muscle Proprioceptors- Muscle Spindles
Muscle Proprioceptors- Gamma Motor Neurons
