Motor Control Systems and Reflexes in the Nervous System - Prof. Richard Hahin, Study notes of Physiology

A brief overview of motor control systems in the nervous system, focusing on reflexes. Reflexes are the body's rapid responses to abnormal inputs, resulting in opposite outputs due to negative feedback. A rapid stretch of a muscle, for instance, triggers the 'jerk reflex' response. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for various fields, including physiology, medicine, and robotics.
