Nervous.
The system that controls coordinated movement in animals is primarily the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. The brain processes sensory information and sends signals to muscles through motor neurons, enabling precise movements. Additionally, the cerebellum plays a crucial role in balance and coordination by fine-tuning motor activities. Together, these components ensure smooth and efficient movement in response to stimuli.
Nervous System
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements and transmits sensory information, while the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.
The three systems that work together to enable animal movement are the muscular system, skeletal system, and nervous system. The muscular system generates force through muscle contractions, while the skeletal system provides structure and support, allowing for movement and leverage. The nervous system coordinates and controls these actions by sending signals from the brain to the muscles, ensuring precise and coordinated movements. Together, these systems facilitate locomotion and various forms of movement in animals.
The Motor Area registers information and controls movement of the body.
The part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the movement of your legs when you walk is the somatic nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements of skeletal muscles. The nerves in this system receive signals from the brain to initiate and coordinate leg movements during walking.
The musculoskeletal system provides for the movement of limbs and controls facial movements.
The nervous system coordinates and controls body movements and responses.
An interlocking line of union refers to a system used in railway signaling where two intersecting rail lines have signals coordinated to ensure trains can safely cross each other without risk of collision. The system prevents conflicting movements by controlling the use of switches and signals to ensure train movements are coordinated and safe.
Effectors are muscles or glands that bring about a coordinated response in reaction to a stimulus. They execute the commands sent by the central nervous system to produce movements or secretions in response to a specific signal.
The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscles. It is responsible for voluntary movements and receives input from sensory neurons to help coordinate muscle contractions.
