3 stages of motor skill develop
- Cognitive
Just learning - Associative
Understanding the skill - Autonomous
Mastered the skill

GTO
Where muscle fiber inserts to tendon
Sensitive to change and rate of change of tension
Muscle spindles
Receptor sensitive to change in length of muscle
Propriception
Sense the orientation of the body
Parasympathetic nervous system
Tells body to relax
Sympathetic nervous system
Increase neural activity
Fight or flight
Somatic nervous system
Serves the outer area of the body responsible for voluntary movement
Interneurons
Transmits impulses between afferent and efferent neurons
Efferent pathway
Motor pathway sends info from the CNS to the body
