Answer;

-Projection level

-Projection level controls intermediate relay for incoming and outgoing neurons.

Step-by-step explanation;

The levels of motor control include; segmental level, projection level and precommand level.

-The segmental level is the lowest level of motor hierarchy. It consists of segmental circuits of the spinal cord, Its circuits control locomotion and specific, oft-repeated motor activity. These circuits are called central pattern generators (CPGs).

The projection level consists of: Cortical motor areas that produce the direct (pyramidal) system, and Brain stem motor areas that oversee the indirect (multineuronal) system . It helps control reflex and fixed-pattern activity and houses command neurons that modify the segmental apparatus.

Precommand level; Cerebellar and basal nuclei systems that:

-Regulates motor activity, precisely start or stop movements, coordinate movements with posture, Block unwanted movements , and Monitor muscle tone.
