The cerebellum functions as a regulator of timing of movements. It integrates sensory perception and motor output. Many neural pathways link the cerebellum with the motor cortex - which sends information to the muscles causing them to move - and the spinocerebellar tract - which provides feed-back on the position of the body in space (proprioception). The cerebellum integrates these pathways, using the constant feed-back on body position to fine-tune motor movements. Studies of motor learning in the vestibulo-ocular reflex and eyeblink conditioning demonstrate that the timing and amplitude of learnt movements are encoded by the cerebellum.

Which part of the brain regulates muscle tone and coordination?

Cerebellum


What regulates poster and coordination of skeletal muscle movement?

The cerebellum regulates both. Posture is maintained by anti-gravity posture muscles, controlled by the cerebellum without conscious perception. Co-ordination of motor outputs is also controlled by the cerebellum.


What are Neurons that conduct impulses to the cardiac muscles?

Motor neurons are the neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glandular epithelial tissue. These types of nerves are what make up the Autonomic nervous system, which regulates the bodies involuntary functions.


What is The tract that carries sensations from muscle spindles to the CNS is the?

The tract that carries sensations from muscle spindles to the central nervous system is the dorsal spinocerebellar tract. This tract conveys proprioceptive information from muscles to the cerebellum for coordination and balance.


What system stimulates muscle to contract and interprets information from sensory organs?

The central nervous system.


What is a neurogenic muscle?

Muscle in which contraction is initiated in the central nervous system is said to be neurogenic.


Which sytem directly innervates skeletal muscles?

The somatic nervous system directly innervates skeletal muscles. It is a component of the peripheral nervous system and is responsible for voluntary motor control, transmitting signals from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles. This system allows for conscious movement and coordination of muscle contractions.


What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?

The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.


which statement best describes why the neuron and muscle cell are different?

muscle cells and nerve cells is that muscle cells are responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscles whereas nerve cells are responsible for the coordination of the functions of the body through the transmission of nerve impulses between the body and the central nervous system.


The autonomic nervous system consists of neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to what in the body?

smooth muscle


What are the two divisions of the peripheral system?

The two divisions of the peripheral nervous system are the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary muscle movements, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary bodily functions.


What type of movement does the autonomic system control?

The somatic nervous system regulates skeletal muscle tissue, while the ANS services smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glandular tissue.
