Document Summary

Peripheral nervous system: cranial / spinal nerves connects brain/spinal cord to periphery. Stimulus= change in environment or body that may cause a response. Which structures allows us to detect a change. Proprioceptors: receptors located in muscles, tendons, joints, vestibular apparatus(inner ear) Cns is (cid:272)o(cid:374)sta(cid:374)tl(cid:455) (cid:271)o(cid:373)(cid:271)arded (cid:271)(cid:455) all this i(cid:374)fo (cid:455)ou do(cid:374)"t (cid:374)eed to respo(cid:374)d other(cid:449)ise it o(cid:448)erloads.

Process by which meaning is attached to the stimulus. When standing on ground a push is not perceived threatening. When standing on a cliff push is perceived threatening. Select a response based on the perceived stimulus. Plan tells the muscles what to do , when to do, how much to turn on. By the end of this stage nothing happens yet(visibly) Lead to execution of the movement(motor output,) only now you can see the movement visually occur. Stimulus or go signal signal tells you to respond.
