what links motor control and biomechanics
physiology
motor control
refine and interpret the information around us to facilitate movement
physiology
develop the internal force to move the limbs of the body, provide the resources for ATP
biomechanics
presentation of te external forces as movement of the body kinetically and kinematically
5 functions model to movement
Signal delivery
Force production
Energy Development
Resource delivery
Waste removal
Parts of a nerve cell
Neuromuscular junction
a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fibre
anatomy of a sarcomere
Names of thick and thin filaments
Thick Filament - > Myosin
Thin Filament - > Actin
Excitation - Contraction Coupling
Motor Units
a motor unit is a motor nerve and all of the muscle fibres that are innervated by these nerves
- > one motor unit may have as few as 6 muscle fibres or it can have 1000’s
Characteristics of the three muscle fibre types
