What detects the magnitude and rate of stretch in a stretch reflex?
The muscle spindle
Two extreme types of movement
Voluntary control and reflexes
Where is the motor cortex in the brain?
The motor homunculus
What happens to otolith organs when the head tilts back?
The firing rate increases as hair becomes deflected via gravity
What happens to otolith organs when the head tilts forward?
The firing rate increases as hair becomes deflected via gravity
What happens to otolith organs when the head tilts slightly forward?
Afferent axons first at the resting heart rate as gravity acts perpendicular
Three stages of information processing?
Perceiving Deciding and Acting
What is the perceiving stage of information processing?

What percentage of vestibular receptors are lost by age y?
40% lost by age 70
Why would a 2 year old with poor motor control not have its vision blamed for this situation?
Because vision is already developed, the neurological pathways are not

Four roles of the cardiovascular system?
Delivery of O2 Removal of CO2 and H2O Delivery of hormones Heat distribution
What is the efficiency of heat distribution in the cardiovascular system?
25%
Define VO2 max
The maximal rate at which oxygen can be taken up, delivered and used by the tissues

What two factors are VO2 max dependent on?
Central and peripheral factors
What is Fick principle
VO2 = CO x (arterial - venous) O2 diff
