Flow-chart on Neuronal Pathways of Special Senses: Balance by Patricia Kate Olalia https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz en-us 2021-09-07 05:09:13 UTC 2024-10-17 06:20:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2696.png John was doing his homework while listening to his favorite upbeat music. After some time, he decided to take a few minute break and just jammed with the songs playing on his device.

Visuals are sent to the brain so that the brain may act and send signals to the muscles and joints of the body to maintain balance.]]> 2021-09-07 15:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722206429 He danced, spinned, and even did a few head bangs as he jams. However, after a few seconds he felt dizzy and started to lose his balance as he walked back side to side to his study table.

When our body moves, these receptors let us sense movement, where our body parts are, and what action the body is doing even when we don’t have vision, and with this, allows for the perception of our balance, therefore helping us maintain it.]]> 2021-09-07 15:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722240371 Vestibular System Patricia_Olalia https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722250917 The system responsible for the majority of our balance is located in our inner ear, near the myriad of other bones and organs that respond to auditory stimulations. Motion done by the head in any direction, will affect the organ system without our inner ear called the vestibular system, consisting of semicircular canals, the insides of these canals are lined with tiny hairs or maculae, which detect movement of the fluid inside the same canal. When the fluid moves, the receptors of our vestibular system detect the movement, sending it to our brain for the evaluation of our balance.]]> 2021-09-07 15:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722250917 As John bangs his head as he enjoys the music, his eyeballs go in the other direction. The eye muscles send signals to the vestibular system to gain balance, which is known as the Vestibular Ocular Reflex, because vision is important in motion to direct our motions. This will now transmit a signal to the proprioceptive system, allowing the body to be aware of the space in which it is moving while the rest of the world is not, and signals from the legs, ankles, knees, and neck muscles will also assist us in retaining our balance.

It has an automatic response that have been imparted because of repeated exposure to a specific body movement.  ]]> 2021-09-07 16:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722336516 Integration of Input: Brainstem Patricia_Olalia https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722347033 Sensory information is facilitated by the brainstem.]]> 2021-09-07 16:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722347033 Integration of Input: Cerebral Cortex Patricia_Olalia https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722357046 The cerebral cortex enhances the comprehension and memory, that plays a vital role in navigating a different pattern of movement based on previously learned patterns.]]> 2021-09-07 16:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722357046 Motor Input: Vestibulo-ocular reflex Patricia_Olalia https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722379935 Both of the vestibular system and visual system collaborate in sending signals and information they detect from the eye muscles in order to balance the inner ear, this process is called the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex. This process inside our brain is responsible in telling us the information that we are the one moving through space and our bodies are performing actions, but the world is not.]]> 2021-09-07 16:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722379935 Motor Input: Motor Impulses Patricia_Olalia https://padlet.com/Patricia_Olalia/bg33fq3vt034b8qz/wish/1722393639 The brainstem sends impulses to the muscles that control movements and posture.
