Which of the following statements is correct when a cockroach makes the decision to begin walking? a.  The subesophagael ganglion disinhibits specific regions in the frontal ganglion of the stomatogastric nervous system, which allows the frontal ganglion to excite the GPGs for flexing and extending the legs in the caudal ganglion. b.  The protocerebrum disinhibits specific regions of the subesophageal gangion, which in turn excite the command interneurons that activate the Flexor Burst Generators and inhibit the Extenor Motor Neurons in the thoracic ganglion that control each leg. c.  The subesophageal ganglion disinhibits the Central Body in the protocerbrum of the centeral nervous system, which excites the CPGs for the legs contained within the abdominal ganglion. d.  The pars intercerebralis of the protocerebrum releases EDNH, which excites the GPGs for the legs contained within the thoracic ganglia.

Muscle Action

A change in the body or a bodily organ as a result of its functioning is referred to as an action. Muscle action can be defined as the specific movement of a bodily part generated by the contraction of a muscle. The muscle proteins actin and myosin are the important contractile proteins involved in muscle action. Muscle contraction, in addition to movement, serves several other important functions in the body, including posture, heat generation, and joint stability. Muscle contraction maintains posture, which includes standing and sitting.
