Movement
•
1 like•221 views
Movement involves muscles, the spine and brain regions and is controlled by the corticospinal tract which originates in the cortex, travels through the medulla oblongata where it crosses to the contralateral side and connects with motor neurons in the spine to help control the limbs. Mirror neurons in the brain are activated when watching others move and help control movement sequences and maintain posture.

Mechanosensation
The document discusses mechanosensation and the somatosensory system. It describes the basic organization, including labeled lines for different sensory functions. It outlines the peripheral mechanosensory elements like various receptor types, their locations and functions. It details the pathways for mechanosensation from the post-cranial body and face, including the dorsal column medial lemniscus system and trigeminal lemniscus pathway. It also discusses proprioception, muscle spindles, golgi tendon organs, and areas of the cortex involved in somatosensory processing.
Control of posture and movements i
The document discusses the organization and functions of the nervous system related to motor control. It notes that the spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebral cortex all play roles in controlling skeletal muscle activity. The motor cortex plans and initiates voluntary movements through pathways to the spinal cord and brainstem. Sensory feedback from muscles, joints, and the senses helps adjust movements and maintain balance and posture. Damage to motor areas early in development can cause cerebral palsy.
Introduction to motor systems
Upper motor neurons in the motor cortex and brainstem initiate and direct voluntary movements. Basal ganglia gate proper movement initiation while the cerebellum coordinates sensory and motor signals for ongoing movement. Lower motor neurons in the spinal cord integrate signals and innervate skeletal muscles. There is somatotopy in the spinal cord with more proximal muscles represented medially and distal muscles laterally. Motor units comprise a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates. Slow motor units generate less force slowly while fast units generate more force but fatigue rapidly.

Motor Unit & Physiology of Locomotion
The document discusses motor units, muscle physiology, and locomotion. It can be summarized as:
1) A motor unit consists of a motoneuron and the muscle fibers it innervates, ranging from a few to thousands of fibers. Smaller motor units allow more refined control.
2) Muscle contraction occurs when an action potential in the motoneuron causes acetylcholine release and muscle fiber depolarization, activating calcium release and cross-bridge cycling to generate force.
3) Locomotion involves complex coordination of many joints and muscles, which is controlled centrally by pattern generators in the spinal cord rather than individually at the muscle level.
Ergonomics- Nervous Control of movement
The document discusses the human nervous system and its role in controlling movement. It notes that the nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS integrates sensory data and generates motor commands, while the PNS has sensory nerves that provide information to the CNS and motor nerves that carry commands to muscles and glands. The PNS can be further divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. Neurons are the basic functional units and conduct electrical impulses via their cell structures. Impulses travel along neurons via depolarization and repolarization processes. Synapses allow impulses to transmit

Neuroscience : Neuroanatomy of Ascending & Descending Tracts
This document discusses ascending and descending tracts in the nervous system. It describes the conscious and unconscious ascending tracts that carry sensory information from the body to the brain, including the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway, anterolateral pathways, and trigeminothalamic pathway. It also discusses descending motor pathways that carry signals from the brain to the spinal cord to control voluntary and involuntary movement, including the direct corticospinal tract and indirect reticulospinal tracts. The pathways are essential for somatic sensation and motor function.
10b motor system voluntary control
This document discusses voluntary motor control and the brain regions involved. The basal ganglia and cerebellum help modulate and plan movement. Within the basal ganglia, different regions receive input and output to different motor areas in a somatotopic organization. The cerebellum contains somatotopic maps and is divided into vestibulocerebellum, neocerebellum, and spinocerebellum. The primary motor cortex codes for force and direction of movement. Premotor areas encode sensorimotor transformations and fire before movement based on visual or sensory cues. Mirror neurons in the premotor cortex fire both when performing and observing specific motor acts.

Principles of Transfer and Transfers for Radial Nerve Palsy
Principles of Transfer and Transfers for Radial Nerve PalsyDr Ziauddin Hospital, Department of Orthopedics & Spine Surgery
This document discusses principles and indications for tendon transfer procedures to address radial nerve palsy. Key points include: Tendon transfers relocate functioning muscle-tendon units to restore lost movement. Indications are permanent nerve injuries or late presentations. Principles of successful transfers include supple joints, soft tissue equilibrium, adequate excursion/strength of donor, expendability of donor, straight line of pull, synergy of function, and single function per transfer. Radial nerve palsy results in loss of wrist/finger/thumb extension. Surgical priorities are to restore elbow flexion, shoulder stability, brachial pinch, and sensation before wrist/finger function. Common transfers restore wrist extension using pronator teres or restorePhysiology of movement
The document summarizes the physiology of human movement. It discusses how distinct areas of the brain plan, execute, and provide feedback for movements. The motor cortex, brainstem, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and spinal cord all contribute to different types of movement like postural control, ambulation, and reaching/grasping. Descending pathways like the corticospinal tract transmit signals from the motor cortex to the spinal cord to control muscle activation. Sensory feedback through pathways like the dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway provides information to coordinate movement.
Corticospinal system
The document summarizes research on the organization and function of the motor nervous system and motor cortex. It describes that the primary motor cortex directly controls spinal motor neurons to enable fine movement control. The dorsal premotor cortex contains movement-related neurons that encode sensorimotor transformations for visually and sensory-cued movements. The ventral premotor cortex encodes learned motor acts and fires before movement execution. Long-term practice leads to more extensive representation of movements in the primary motor cortex, demonstrating the adaptability and plasticity of cortical motor areas.
Upper and lower motor neuron lesions by DR.IFRA
Upper motor neurons originate in the brain and convey signals for voluntary movement through descending pathways to lower motor neurons. Lower motor neurons originate in the spinal cord and brainstem and directly innervate skeletal muscles. An upper motor neuron lesion causes spastic weakness without atrophy while a lower motor neuron lesion causes flaccid paralysis with atrophy.
peripheral nerves of the upper limb - applied
The document discusses the peripheral nerves of the upper limb, including the brachial plexus and its five main branches: the axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, radial nerve, median nerve, and ulnar nerve. It describes the origin, course, branches, and innervation of each nerve. Key points include that the brachial plexus provides cutaneous and motor innervation to the upper limb and gives rise to the five main nerves. Injuries to specific nerves can result in characteristic muscle weakness or sensory loss depending on the innervation.
Tractsascendinganddescending 110817030500-phpapp01
The document summarizes the ascending and descending tracts in the spinal cord. It describes:
1) Ascending tracts carry sensory information from the body and spinal cord to the brain. The main ascending tracts are the lateral and anterior spinothalamic tracts for pain, temperature, touch and pressure sensations.
2) Descending tracts carry motor commands from the brain to the spinal cord and include tracts like the corticospinal, rubrospinal, and reticulospinal tracts which regulate the activity of lower motor neurons.
3) Together the ascending and descending tracts allow for sensory information to be transmitted to the brain for processing while motor commands from the brain can influence
Cerebellum
The document discusses the anatomy and connections of the cerebellum. It notes that the cerebellum is located posterior to the pons and medulla and is separated from the cerebrum by the tentorium cerebelli. It has three lobes - the anterior, middle, and flocculonodular lobes - which are divided by fissures. The cerebellum receives input from the spinal cord, vestibular system, and cerebral cortex and is involved in motor coordination and balance.

Reflexes are automatic responses processed unconsciously in the central nervous system. Classical conditioning occurs when a previously neutral stimulus (the conditioned stimulus or CS) is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) that elicits an innate response, causing the CS to elicit a conditioned response over time through repeated associations formed in the brain between the CS and UCS. For optimal classical conditioning, there should be a short, half-second interval between the CS and UCS.

Schemas impact cognition in four main ways: selection, abstraction, interpretation, and integration. Schemas can both help recall by providing context but can also distort memory by leading individuals to remember details that were not actually present based on their expectations. The best way to minimize potential distortions is to provide context before presenting new information.

Wahiba Chair's Talk at the 2024 Learning Ideas Conference. Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Pollock and Snow "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape, Session One: Setting Expec...National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
