balance
mechanism of equilibrium (sense of balance) respond, frequently without our awareness to various head movements
balance
mahirap mag balance if nakapikit ang ating mga mata
used to describe awareness of posture, movement and changes in equilibrium and the knowledge of weight and resistance of objects in relation to the body
proprioception
balanced, smooth, proposeful movement, is the result of proper functioning of the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and basal ganglia
coordinated movement
initiates voluntary motor activity, operates movements, not muscles
- may direct the arm to pick up a cup of coffee
cerebral cortex
coordinates the motor activities of movement, operates below the level of consciousness
cerebellum
does not direct the movement but relates the instruction from the cerebral cortex into detailed actions by the many different muscles in the hand, arm and shoulders
cerebellum
maintain posture
basal ganglia
involuntary movements
carebellum
translates the “instructions”
naisip ni cerebral cortex ang gagawin kaya gagawin ni cerebellum
nag iisip- cerebral cortex
tiga gawa- cerebellum
stay put- basal ganglia
