Question

Loss of descending inhibitory inputs on motor neurons may result in ____.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loss of descending inhibitory inputs on motor neurons can lead to increased excitability of motor neurons and reflexes, resulting in spastic paralysis. Flaccid paralysis is caused by damage to lower motor neurons, and tetanus is caused by a bacterial infection. Clumsy movement and cerebral palsy are not directly related to loss of descending inhibitory inputs on motor neurons.
