C2 Lesson 1 Flashcards
defined as the process of initiating, directing, and grading purposeful voluntary movement.
Motor Control
defined motor control as the “ability to regulate mechanisms essential for movement.
Shumway- Cook
played out in an interaction between the person, environment, and task.
Movement
According to ___________ the production and control of human movement is a process that varies from a simple reflex loop to a complex network of neural patterns that communicate throughout the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Roller et al (2012)
are nerve cells that make up the nervous system’s basic building blocks.
Neurons-
KINDS OF NEURON
- Sensory Neurons
- Motor neurons
- Interneurons
carry information from the sensory receptor cells throughout the body to the brain.
Sensory Neurons
transmit information from the brain to the muscles of the body.
Motor neurons
responsible for communicating information between different neurons in the body
Interneurons
THERE ARE THREE BASIC PARTS OF A NEURON:
- Dendrites
- Cell body
- Axon
effectively the center of the nervous system, the part of it that processes the information received from the peripheral nervous system
Central Nervous System (CNS)
THREE MAIN COMPONENTS OF BRAIN
- Brainstem
- Cerebellum
- Forebrain (Cerebrum and Cerebral Cortex)
Underneath the limbic system
- Brainstem
Also called “little brain”, is similar to the cerebrum in that it has two hemispheres and a
highly folded surface or cortex
- Cerebellum
the largest part of the human brain and accounts for 85% it its weight, associated with the higher brain function such as thought and action.
- Forebrain (Cerebrum and Cerebral Cortex)
The cerebrum has two halves or hemispheres. It is further divided into four regions, or lobes, in each hemisphere.
- Frontal Lobes
- Parietal Lobes
- Occipital lobes
- Temporal lobes
located behind the forehead, are involved with speech, thought, learning, emotion, and movement.
Frontal Lobes
located behind the frontal
lobe which process sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.
Parietal Lobes
located at the rear of the
brain which deals with vision.
Occipital Lobes
located near the temples, which are are involved with hearing and memory
Temporal Lobes
Connected to the brain and is about the diameter of a human finger
Spinal Cord
a clear fluid surrounded to spinal cord which acts as a cushion to protect the delicate nerve tissues against damage from banging against the inside of the vertebrate
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF)
