TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Control of Movement A1 - Waxman, Stephen G. Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Clinical Neuroanatomy, 29e AB - All living animals move, some movements are reflexive, while others are intentional. Both types of movement are controlled by the nervous system. In more advanced forms of animal life, reflexive motion is based on the transmission of impulses from a receptor through an afferent neuron and ganglion cell to motor neurons and muscles. This arrangement is found in the reflex arc of higher animals, including humans, in whom the spinal cord has further developed into a central regulating mechanism. Superimposed on these reflex circuits, the brain is concerned with the initiation and control of movement and the integration of complex motions.
