10.1 The Physiological Actions Implementing Movement – Contraction of Muscles

1.
When the myosin globular head is attached to the thin filament binding site and proceeds to angle itself toward the center of the sarcomere to pull the thin filament inward while bound by Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), this is called a ________.

10.2 Eliciting Contractions from Lower Levels – Lower Motoneurons and Reflex Arcs

2 .
Lower motoneurons within the spinal cord responsible for controlling finger movements are located within the ventral grey more ________ than motoneurons responsible for controlling shoulder movements.
3.
The type of sensation in which information about the stretch, amount of force used, or general location of limbs based on the extension of muscles are all processed is generally called ________.

10.3 Our Brain Gets Involved – Responsibilities of Upper Motor Systems

4 .
A timed pattern of sequential muscle activations such as what happens when we type out “a timed pattern of muscle activations,” on a keyboard is known as a ________.
5.
The precursor molecule representing partial production of dopamine as it is derived from the amino acid tyrosine, which is given to Parkinson’s patients because, unlike dopamine, it can cross the blood-brain barrier, is called ________.
6 .
The primary motor cortex (M1) strip in the precentral gyrus (frontal lobe) of our brains contains a map of movable body parts where the size of each part increases according to the sophistication or subtlety of movement said part can accomplish. This size-modified body part map is called the motor ________.
