lifespan perspective of the musculoskeletal system Flashcards
afferent vs efferent
sensory vs motor
what represents the final output of the CNS
motor unit activity
what does the primary motor cortex do
controls speed and force of movement
what does the supplemental motor area do
involved in preplanning movements
what does the premotor cortex do
visually guided movements
what does the cerebellum do
coordinates movements based on accuracy, timing, and intensity
what does the basal ganglia do
controls posture and adaptation to varying tasks/environments
motor unit
one motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates
