Normal Functions of the Motor System

The motor system is within the cerebral cortex of brain. The motor system is a system in the human body that controls the human body's voluntary movement. The pyramidal system is the main motor pathway that extends from the motor cortex in the brain down to the spinal cord of the body. The extrapyramidal circuit promotes or hinders the movement of the body. Messages are sent throughout the rest of the body by the neurotransmitters called dopamine. Dopamine sends messages between nerve cells.
