What is the primary motor cortex responsible for?
Skilled voluntary movement
What is the premotor cortex responsible for?
Staging or planing area for learned motor patterns
What region of the brain do neurons degenerate in parkinsons disease? *
Substantia nigra of the mesencephalon (control dopamine release and movement)
What branch of the nervous system is associated with increased GI tract motility? *
Parasympathetic nervous system of ANS
Name the 2 endogenous opiate neurotransmitters?
Endorphins and Enkephalins
What is the stretch receptor? *
Muscle spindle
What is the left side of the brain responsible for in lateralization? *
Language, math, and logic (using skills from math and science to answer a question)
What is the right side of the brain responsible for in lateralization? *
Visual skills, facial recognition, spatial skills, emotion, and intuition (problems on the fly like running and walking)
What is dual innervation?
The parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems counterbalance each other to keep systems running smoothly. The sympathetic increases heart rate, while the parasympathetic slows heart rate.
What is reciprocal innervation?
innervation so that the contraction of a muscle or set of muscles (as of a joint) is accompanied by the simultaneous inhibition of an antagonistic muscle or set of muscles
What is antagonism?
Antagonism is a relationship between organisms in which one benefits at the expense of the other.
The inhibition of motor neurons to antagonistic muscles while the stimulation of the motor neurons to the agonist muscles occurs in what type of innervation?
Reciprocal innervation
What is an agonist muscle?
The muscle that primarily causes the action to occur (biceps in a bicep curl)
