Control of Movements by the Brain

Classmate post:

Voluntary movement is definitely coordinated differently than involuntary movement. Voluntary movement is coordinated by the motor cortex, which sends messages throughout the bodily paths, such as the brain stem and spinal cord, to make the muscle contract, or make the voluntary movement happen.

Voluntary movement is also different from involuntary as voluntary is movement we are actively trying to do, such as moving my foot off another person’s foot. Involuntary movement is more like reflexes, in the sense that they are rooted deeply within us, and our body automatically does them.

An example of involuntary movement would be stepping down or up very hard when missing a stair. This movement is sparked by the body’s realization of the misstep, ultimately realizing it has to get back on the ground, or you could be hurt. This leads the body to step back down on the floor very roughly, as the reflex wanted to protect the body from possible harm.

While the brain and spinal cord are still utilized in involuntary movement, the autonomic system is important in this movement too, as it controls most reflexes or automatic activities, like heart regulation and digestion.

A reflex that does not involve movement of the body is digestion. While digestion is not necessarily a reflex, it is coordinated by them. Digestion does not involve visible bodily movement, therefore being a reflex that doesn’t need movement. Digestion only needs the automatic reflexes in your body to tell the body that you need to digest, the body does not need to move for it.

Classmate post 2:

Both conscious (voluntary) and unconscious (involuntary) movements need to be arranged differently. I began by considering what voluntary movements are and what purpose they serve. Involuntary muscles act on their own, but voluntary muscles can be moved by conscious choice.

Muscles of the limbs or skeletal muscles are voluntary, while cardiac muscles and smooth muscles are involuntary. In the sense that voluntary movements must have at least some connections with the planning and other capacities of the mind, conscious (voluntary) motions must be organized slightly differently than unconscious (involuntary) movements.

When I first read the second question, I was a little confused. I honestly believe it was due to my overthinking. However, putting one finger on your nose is an example of a bodily movement that does not require reflexes. This is because we are purposefully putting our finger on our nose (like poking it (our nose) with our index finger) there for, we made the conscious design to do so, meaning no reflex are involved

Literature Support

91-84 points

The context and relevance of the issue, as well as a clear description of the study aim, are presented. The history of searches is discussed.

Methodology

58-53 points

With titles for each slide as well as bulleted sections to group relevant information as required, the content is well-organized. Excellent use of typeface, color, images, effects, and so on to improve readability and presenting content. The minimum length criterion of 10 slides/pages is reached.

Average Score

50-85%

40-38 points

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

83-76 points

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

52-49 points

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.

Poor Quality

37-1 points

The context and/or importance are lacking. There is no search history information supplied.

75-1 points

There has been an examination of relevant theoretical literature, but still no research concerning problem-related concepts has been synthesized. The review is just somewhat focused and organized. The provided overview of content does not include any supporting or opposing research. The conclusion has no scriptural references.

48-1 points

There is no logical or apparent organizational structure. There is no discernible logical sequence. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on often detracts from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
