Document Summary
Old/ new terms: ontogenetic, development/adaptations that occur over your lifespan. If you learn how to drive a car, you become better at driving your car over your lifespan: phylogenetic, development/adaptations that have occurred over the course of evolution, e. g. primitive reflex grasping. Designed for bipedal walking: musculoskeletal system, skeletal and muscle morphology and function designed for bipedal stance and walking, nervous system, control of muscles to achieve remarkable challenge of coordination and efficiency, stability, safety and progression. Control of walking: remember there are two challenges, moving, control of locomotor movements, don"t fall down, control of dynamic stability. Control of locomotor movements: bipedal walking or running, complex pattern of intra-limb (within limb) and inter-limb (between limb) coordination, move your body (com) in desired direction. Sherrington in 1900: famous neuroscientist from the late 1800"s and early 1900"s. Reflex chaining: proposed on reflex would then trigger another and so on , series of consecutive reflexes.
