Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loss of coordination and balance is commonly associated with damage to the cerebellum, which is responsible for coordinating movements and maintaining balance. Damage to descending excitatory pathways (A) may result in paralysis, while excitatory inputs to motor neurons being unopposed because of disruption of an inhibitory system in the brain stem (B) may result in spasticity. Damage to the spinal cord (C) may result in a variety of motor deficits depending on the level and severity of the injury, and loss of alpha motor neurons (E) may result in weakness or paralysis of muscles controlled by those neurons.
