    NEUROMUSCULAR CONTROL IN THE BODY

    As you have already learned, the nervous system works closely with all body systems but is considered part of the infrastructure in the human body. The first aspect of the nervous system to consider is the anatomy of the nerve cell and how electrical signals travel along the axon of the cell. This is a good place to start because it illustrates generally how all nerves work. The nervous system is specialized, in that there are different types of nerves. For example, some nerves carry signals to the brain while others carry messages from the brain. Some nerves control voluntary action and others are strictly involuntary.Special senses utilize organs that receive signals such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. For each of the five senses, receptor cells pick up a signal (for example, light), and undergo a transformation in response to the signal. The transformed molecules within the receptor cell cause an electrical impulse to be generated and it is passed along the nervous system to the brain for interpretation.In this unit you will examine the role of yearly physicals and test results that focus on neuromuscular fitness.SHOW LESS

    • Chapter 7, “The Nervous System.” This chapter explains how your nervous system detects, processes, and responds to information about conditions inside and outside your body, and how your brain acts as the master controller that receives, processes, stores, and retrieves information.
    • Chapter 8, “The Special Senses.” This chapter explains how different types of sensory receptors and nerves detect and convey information to the brain.

    OVERVIEW

    The Neuromuscular Lab focuses on three friends of Tanya who are getting their yearly physical, including an eye exam and reflex test. It will have you go through the process of conducting the eye exams from an optometrist’s point of view.Since the eyes are the receptors of light and a multitude of other information, this lab will focus on the patients’ eyes as an indicator of neuromuscular fitness. There are many diseases of the eye that can impact overall health, such as those mentioned in the MedlinePlus website article, “Eye Diseases,” listed in the Resources.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    For this assessment, you will complete a series of responses within the lab, complete an assessment at the end of the lab, and write a brief summary of your conclusion about the lab.To complete this assessment:

    1. Fill out the items requested in the lab.
    2. Complete the assessment at the end of the lab.
    3. Save a pdf of your responses and download it to your computer. You will have an option to download a pdf within the lab.
    4. Write a one-paragraph summary detailing new knowledge acquired in the lab.
    5. Attach both documents when submitting the assessment.

    Make sure that you read the Homework: Neuromuscular System Lab Scoring Guide prior to submitting your assessments to ensure you have met all of the expectations for this assessment.It is recommended that you review the scoring guide prior to completing the la as most work will be completed within the lab.

    ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS

    Your summary should meet the following requirements:

    • Length: Submit one double-spaced page.
    • Written communication: Ensure written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
