Document Summary
Kinesiology 3480 movement neuroscience final exam notes. 20-24 mcqs, 1-2 saqs, 1 laq (relating to dorsovisual and ventrovisual pathway) Closed-loop model illustrates how sensory information is integrated into the cns to plan & control motor movements. Vision, vestibular function, muscle spindles, mechanoreceptors, golgi tendon organs. Contributes to efficient planning of goal-directed movements. We have sensory organs i. e. eyes, nose, muscle and looking for errors that may occur in ongoing. For example, if we have a goal to grab coffee, we we have a reference mechanism. Then, we plan a so we can grasp that cup of coffee. This goal gets sent to the alpha motor neurons and these mechanisms continually monitor what happens monitor our movements using our sensory systems touch, proprioception, etc. ) to monitor our movement. Corrections include adjusting grip aperture to make a response. spindles that are detecting movement know where the coffee is, so response that is appropriate muscle spindle fibres where in our environment.
