Reticular Formation has a _________ _______. Motor Division
The motor division sends axons to the ______ _____. Spinal Cord
These axons of the motor division control what? - Control of skeletal muscles during coarse movements of the limbs - Some regulate visceral functions (Heart rate, BP, respiration)
