| motor nucleus of trigeminal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A group of motor neurons innervating the muscles of mastication (masseter, temporalis, internal and external pterygoid muscles) and the musculi tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini. The nucleus lies in the upper pontine tegmentum medial to the main sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. Synonym: nucleus motorius nervi trigemini, masticatory nucleus, motor nucleus of trigeminus, nucleus masticatorius. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: nucleus motorius nervi trigemini, masticatory nucleus, motor nucleus of trigeminus, nucleus masticatorius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor oculi | <anatomy, nerve> Responsible for motor enervation of upper eyelid muscle, extraocular muscle and pupillary muscle. Lesions of the oculomotor nerve results in ptosis (dropping eyelid), deviation of the eyeball outward, double vision and a dilated pupil. (27 Sep 1997) |
| motor paralysis | Loss of the power of muscular contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor plate | A motor endplate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor point | A point on the skin where the application of an electrical stimulus, via an electrode, will cause the contraction of an underlying muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor protein | <protein> Proteins that bind ATP and are able to move on a suitable substrate with concomitant ATP hydrolysis. most eukaryotic motor proteins move by binding to a specific site on either actin filaments (myosin) or on microtubules (dynein, kinesin). They are normally elongated molecules with two active binding sites although some kinesin analogues have a single site. The distal end of the molecule normally binds adaptor proteins that enable them to make stable interactions with membranous vesicles or with filamentous structures, which then constitute the cargo to be moved along the substrate filament.

| motor root | The motor root of a spinal nerve. Synonym: radix anterior, radix motoria, anterior root, motor root, radix ventralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor root of ciliary ganglion | A branch of the oculomotor nerve supplying parasympathetic preganglionic nerve fibres to the ciliary ganglion. Synonym: radix parasympathica ganglii ciliaris, radix oculomotoria ganglii ciliaris, motor root of ciliary ganglion, oculomotor root of ciliary ganglion, radix brevis ganglii ciliaris, short root of ciliary ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor root of trigeminal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The smaller root of the trigeminal nerve, composed of fibres originating from the trigeminal motor nucleus and emerging from the pons medial to the much larger sensory root, to join the mandibular nerve; it carries motor and proprioceptive fibres to the muscles derived from the first bronchial (mandibular) arch, including the four muscles of mastication, plus the mylohyoid, anterior belly of the digastric, and the tensores tympani and veli palati. Synonym: radix motoria nervi trigemini, masticator nerve, portio minor nervi trigemini. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor roots of submandibular ganglion | <anatomy, nerve> Motor roots of submandibular ganglion; communicating branches between submandibular ganglion and lingual nerve. Synonym: rami communicantes ganglii submandibularis cum nervo linguali, motor roots of submandibular ganglion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor skills | Performance of complex motor acts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| motor skills disorders | Marked impairments in the development of motor coordination such that the impairment interferes with activities of daily living. (12 Dec 1998) |
| motor speech centre | The posterior part of the inferior frontal gyrus of the left or dominant hemisphere, corresponding approximately to Brodmann's area 44; Broca identified this region as an essential component of the motor mechanisms governing articulated speech. Synonym: Broca's area, Broca's field, motor speech centre. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor tic | <neurology> A repetitive spasmodic movement of the eyes or facial muscles. May also involve the neck or shoulders. Tics are most common in children. The cause is unknown but may be linked to stress. Tics are more common in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disease. Most tics require no treatment and resolve on their own with patient education. (27 Sep 1997) |
