How do brainstem upper motor neurons regulate movement? a. This system utilizes a central pattern generator to regulate repetitive and rhythmic movements. b. This system is activated when you need to modify your movement depending on environmental conditions, such as adjusting to the weight and speed of an object. c. This system permits rapid motor reactions to unexpected changes in the environment. d. This system is activated when you perform a skilled movement, such as completing an expert golf swing or performing a gymnastics routine. e. This system permits movement initiation from a stationary position, such as standing up from a sitting position

Human Movement

Humans can move from one place to another through coordinated movements and postures. The movement produced by the human body due to the contraction of muscles and bending of bone joints is called human movement. Human movements are controlled by the nervous system. Hence, the human movement incorporates the use of muscles, ligaments, joints, and bones.  Kinesiology is the field that deals with the study of human movements.
