Chapter ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this chapter, the student should be able to:
| Name and describe the functions of the basic structures of the nervous system. |
| | | | Explain how gradations in strength of muscle contraction and precision of movements occur. |
| | | | Name and define the receptors important in musculoskeletal movement. |
| | | | Explain how the various receptors function, and describe the effect each has on musculoskeletal movement. |
| | | | Describe reflex action, and enumerate and differentiate among the reflexes that affect musculoskeletal action. |
