1) Movement can be classified as reflex, voluntary, or rhythmic
By input from the cerebral cortex, but once activated, CNS interneurons called central pattern generators (CPGs) maintain the spontaneous repetitive activity
How are rhythmic movements initiated and terminated?
Help us maintain body position as we stand or move
What are postural reflexes?
Walking/running; combo of reflex and voluntary movements
What are rhythmic movements?
Voluntary movements
What are the most complex type of movements?
Info from the vestibular apparatus of the ear and visual cues
What information helps us maintain position?
Reflex movements
What is the least complex movement?
Brain stem
Where are postural reflexes integrated?
The cerebral cortex
Where are voluntary movements integrated?
