Movement 1 Flashcards
4 Major neural movement centers
- Lower motor neurons (ex. spinal cord)
- Upper motor neurons (ex. motor cortex)
- Cerebellum
- Basal ganglia
Types of muscle receptors
- Golgi tendon organs: Sense tension
- Muscle spindle receptors
Types of muscle spindle receptors
- Primary sensory endings
- Secondary sensory endings
Primary sensory endings innervate the ____ region of the muscle spindle and senses ____
Central; Stretch
Secondary sensory endings innervate the thin ____ of the muscle spindle and senses ____ of stretch
Ends; speed
Lower motor neurons are located in the ____ and ____ ____; they send ____ to ____ and the rest of the ____
- Brainstem; spinal cord
- Axons; muscles; body
Relationship between motor neuron and muscle fibers
Motor neuron 脚踏无数muscle fiber的船
Muscles are activated when muscles receive input from ____ neurons in the ____ ____ and release ____ (the neurotransmitter)
Motor; spinal cord; Acetylcoline
Antagonistic pairs
Muscles arranged in opposite pairs with extensors and flexors
An individual muscle can only generate movement in…
One direction🎶
Local circuits
Generate motor movement in response to sensory info
(From PNS to spinal cord and back, without engaging the brain)
4 descending projections (tracts) from brain stem to spinal cord
- Tectospinal
- Rubrospinal
- Reticulospinal
- Verstibulospinal
Tectospinal tract controls…
Neck muscle & Head, eye movements
Rubrospinal tract controls…
Arm musculature
Reticulospinal tract controls…
- Temporal and special coordination & movement
- Cardiovacular & respiratory movement
