Motor pathways carry signals from the brain to the [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Skeletal Muscle|skeletal muscle]] and [[Muscles_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Smooth_Muscle|smooth muscle]] such as those contained in glands. The system consists of [[Spinal_Cord_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Upper_Motor_Neuron_.28UMN.29|upper]] and [[Spinal_Cord_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Lower_Motor_Neuron_.28LMN.29|lower]] motor neurones. The information provided below is primarily focussed on the motor pathways that coordinate skeletal muscle movement, i.e. motor pathways related to voluntary control of skeletal muscles.
