Proprioception

Answer 5

The consultative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense position and limb movements

Question 6

Sensorimotor integration

Answer 6

Cooperation of the nervous and muscular system in gathering and interpreting information and executing movement

Question 7

Feedback

Answer 7

Use of sensory information and sensorimotor integration to help the human movement system in motor learning

Question 8

Internal feedback

Answer 8

Process whereby sensory information is used by the body to reactively monitor movement and the environment

Question 9

External feedback

Answer 9

Information provided by some external source, such as a health and fitness professional, videotape, mirror, or heart rate monitor, to supplement the internal environment
