Which statement about cat locomotion is true? Flexors are not important during the swing phase. Extensors do not have an important role during the stance phase. It is controlled by groups of spinal central pattern generators (CPGs) that produces left and right alternate gaits activity. Gaits in left and right legs are always synchronized together

The role of muscle spindles in the maintenance of the upright posture depends upon all the following, except :-a- contraction of the peripheral contractile part of spindle fibersb- increased sensory discharge from spindles of postural musclesc- increased supraspinal facilitation to the γ-motor neurons of postural musclesd- presence of greater numbers of spindles in postural muscles
According to Schmidt's theory of motor control, the mechanism primarily responsible for the control of coordinated movement controls Question 10 options: a specific movement. all actions involving the same limb. all actions involving limbs on the same side. a class of actions.
Which of the following best describes rigidity? It affects only antigravity muscles It causes flaccid paralysis It occurs in an upper motor neuron lesion It affects both gravity and antigravity muscles
Premotor time can be defined as the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the start of a movement the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the first change in the electrical activity of any muscle involved in the movement to be performed the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the first change of electrical activity of the prime mover muscle involved in the movement to be performed the time between the initiation of the movement and the first change in the electrical activity of the postural muscles involved in the movement to be performed the time between the presentation of a signal and the initiation of a response
The reticular formation O is the combination of the dorsal and ventral horns of the spine that govern motion and it is feedback control the combined structure of the NMJ, the T Tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum is a CNS integrating center for all sensory information used to control voluntary motion O is a specific reaction of the cerebral cortex that starts the decision to generate a voluntary motion
Adequate level of muscle tone is essential for the accurate performance of voluntary movements, because :-a- it adjusts the α -motor neuron discharge initiating voluntary movementsb- it adjusts posture of proximal joints of the acting limbsc- it adjusts the upright posture of the whole body during voluntary movementsd- it adjusts sensitivity of the spindles of the involved muscles
In a rock climber like the man pictured in Figure 14.25, which organs of equilibrium are activated? Figure 14.25 Dangling upside down affects several organs of equilibrium. What are they?
A tap on the patellar tendon at the knee joint is used to test the knee-jerk reflex. All of the followings are correct, except ---------------------. The reflex starts with the 1a sensory neurons of the muscle spindle There is an excitatory stimulus to the motor pool of the extensor muscle There is a stimulation of the excitatory interneuron of the flexor muscle Excitation of the extensor muscle fibers causes the knee extension Muscle contraction depends on coordination between motor pools of antagonistic muscles

Briefly discuss the nervous control of posture in animals.
Please order the steps of voluntary movement. 1) Primary motor cortex sends information to alpha motor neurons 2) The prefrontal and parietal cortices decide to initiate movement. 3) Alpha motor neurons initiate muscle contractions. 4) The supplementary motor area (SMA) uses input from the thalamus and basal ganglia to plan a movement.
