Spinal cord damge interrupts descending motor tracts

Reference no: EM13530411

Spinal cord damge interrupts descending motor tracts that act to suppress the activity of th spinal motor neurons. Use this information, and the muscle stretch reflex pathway, to explain why someone with a spinal cord injury can ahve muscle spasms below the level of the injury.
