Sensory components of motor control

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are the three important sources of feedback involved in motor control?   touch, proprioception, and vision.  
🗑
Mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors that detect   skin stretch and joint movement  
🗑
Mechanoreceptors relay ______ _____ _____ to the CNS.   tactile sensory information  
🗑
Touch influences   movement accuracy, consistency, timing, force adjustments, and distance.  
🗑
Proprioception is   the perception of limb, body, and head movement characteristics.  
🗑
Information about limb movement direction, location in space, and velocity is sent to the CNS by   afferent neural pathways.  
🗑
Proprioception is transmitted by   proprioceptors.  
🗑
Proprioception influences   movement accuracy, timing of the onset of motor commands, coordination of body segments, postural control, and spatial-temporal coupling.  
🗑
Proprioceptors are located in   muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.  
🗑
Muscle spindles   detect change in muscle length.  
🗑
Golgi-tendon organs   detect change in muscle tension, or force  
🗑
Joint receptors   detect changes in joint movement at the extremes of angular movement and position.  
🗑
Deafferentation   used to make proprioceptive feedback unavailable  
🗑
Without vision,   movement is negatively affected.  
🗑
Vision is   the result of the sensory receptors of the eyes receiving and transmitting wavelengths of light to the visual cortex of the brain by way of the optic nerve.  
🗑
Cornea   a clear surface that covers the front of the eye  
🗑
Pupil   the opening in the eye that lets in light.  
🗑
The amount of light detected by the eye   influences the diameter of the pupil.  
🗑
Iris   the eye structure that surrounds the pupil and provides the eye its color.  
🗑
Lens   the transparent eye structure that sits just behind the iris.  
🗑
This allows the eye to focus on various distances.   lens  
🗑
The neural aspects of vision begins with the _________.   retina  
🗑
_____ respond to low levels of light.   rods  
🗑
______ only respond to bright light.   cones  
🗑
Rods are concentrated at the ________.   periphery  
🗑
Cones are concentrated at the ________.   center  
🗑
Cones are critical in ______, ______, and ________.   color vision, visual acuity, and central vision.  
🗑
Waves are __________ in the retina.   refracted  
🗑
Axons of neurons in the retina called ganglion cells form the   optic nerve  
🗑
The optic nerve is cranial nerve number what?   2  
🗑
The optic nerves from the two eyes meet near the base of the brain and form the   optic chiasm  
🗑
Visual field   refers to the image or scene being viewed.  
🗑
Central vision   detects information only in the middle 2 to 5 degrees of the visual field.  
🗑
Peripheral vision   detects information outside of the middle 2 to 5 degrees of the visual field.  
🗑
_______ ________ is needed for the successful achievement of the action goal.   central vision  
🗑
Central vision is related to   visual acuity  
🗑
Peripheral vision is related to   velocity and control  
🗑
_______ allows action initiation and object contact to occur automatically at a specific time to contact   tau  
🗑
_____ allows us to recognize and describe what we see   vision-for-perception  
🗑
______allows us to move in our environment   vision-for -action  
🗑
When there is a sufficient amount of time, people can make   movement corrections  
🗑
Movement errors may occur due to movement or environmental conditions that were _____ _____ to allow for a correction.   too fast  
🗑
Vertical visual field is how many degrees?   160  
🗑
Horizontal visual field is how many degrees?   200  
🗑
Binocular vision is   seeing with both eyes.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
