1. nervous system communication network within the body.
2. nervous system 1. sensory: changes in the environment
functions 2. integrative: analyze and interpret
3. motor: the neuromuscular response
3. Central nervous brain and spinal cord; coordinates activity of the body
system (CNS)
4. Peripheral ner- nerves connecting the CNS to the rest of the body and environment.
vous system
(PNS) subdivisions:
- somatic
- autonomic
- parasympathetic
- sympathetic
5. Somatic - apart of the PNS
- serves outer areas of the body and skeletal muscle; voluntary
6. Autonomic - apart of the PNS
- involuntary systems (e.g., heart, digestion).
subdivisions:
- parasympathetic
- sympathetic
7. Parasympathetic - apart of the autonomic system of the PNS
- decreases activation during rest and recovery.
8. Sympathetic - apart of the autonomic system of the PNS
- increases activation to prep for activity.
9. neuron

functional unit of the nervous system.
- motor (efferent)
- sensory (afferent)
10. motor neurons - efferent
- transmit nerve impulses from CNS to effector sites.
11. sensory neurons - afferent
- respond to stimuli; transmit nerve impulses from effector sites to CNS.
12. mechanorecep- sense distortion in body tissues.
tors
13. Joint receptors respond to pressure, acceleration, and deceleration of joints.
14. Golgi tendon or- sense changes in muscular tension.
gans (GTO)
15. Muscle spindles sense changes in muscle length.
16. Tendons connect muscle to bone; provide anchor for muscles to produce force.
17. Fascia outer layer of connective tissue surrounding a muscle.

18. Fascicles bundle of individual muscle fibers.
19. Muscle fiber cellular components and myofibrils encased in a plasma membrane.
20. Sarcomere produces muscular contraction; repeating sections of actin and myosin.
21. Sliding filament thick and thin filaments slide past one another, shortening the entire sarcomere.

22. Type I muscle tis- - slow twitch
sue - smaller size; fatigue slowly.

Type II muscle - fast twitch
tissue - larger size; quick to produce maximal tension; fatigue quickly.
24. Motor unit one motor neuron and the muscle fibers it connects with.
25. Neural activation contraction of a muscle generated by neural stimulation.
26. Neurotransmit- chemical messengers that transport impulses from nerve to muscle.
ters
27. Local stabiliza- attach directly to vertebrae. Consists of: transverse abdominis, internal oblique,
tion system multifidus, pelvic floor, diaphragm.
28. Global stabiliza- attach from pelvis to spine. Consists of: quadratus lumborum, psoas major, ex-
tion system ternal oblique, rectus abdominis, gluteus medius, adductor complex, portions of
internal oblique.
