HKIN 215 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Skeletal Muscle, Alpha Motor Neuron, Lamellar Corpuscle
Document Summary
Feedback: reaching out for a cup of coffee. Outline: o o: touch and motor control. Procedures used to investigate proprioception and motor control. Role of proprioception in motor control o o o o o. Identify and describe sensory receptors that provide proprioceptive informa- tion to the cns: describe the procedures that researchers use to investigate the role of pro- prioception in motor control. Identify and discuss 3 movement-related characteristics influenced by pro- prioception. Sensory information is essential in all theories of motor control and learning: provides pre-movement information, provides feedback about the movement in progress, provides post-movement information about action goal achievement. 3 types of sensory information: touch, proprioception, and vision. Somatic sensory system: ex: texting on a cell phone, picking up a ball, manipulating other people, etc, mostly associated with the hands, receptors in the skin, touch, texture, pressure, pain.
