Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

2.2K
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Veins of Upper Limbs01:17

Veins of Upper Limbs

4.0K
The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

7.0K
The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

4.3K
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side...

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

4.6K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a...

Binet's Contribution to Measures of Intelligence01:23

Binet's Contribution to Measures of Intelligence

1.7K
Alfred Binet, along with his student Théophile Simon, was tasked by the French Ministry of Education in 1904 to create a method for identifying students who struggled to learn through conventional classroom instruction. This initiative aimed to address overcrowding by placing such students in specialized schools. Binet and Simon developed an intelligence test comprising 30 tasks, ranging from simple commands, like touching one's nose or ear, to more complex tasks, such as drawing...

Summary

Humans primarily use vision, not proprioception, for real-time limb control during voluntary actions. This study directly perturbed sensory feedback, finding vision crucial for online trajectory adjustments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Human Movement Science

Background:

  • Voluntary actions rely on sensory feedback for precise execution and online adjustments.
  • Both visual and proprioceptive information are theoretically available for motor control.
  • Previous research often used indirect methods to study proprioception's role in online control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To directly assess the distinct contributions of visual and proprioceptive feedback to online motor control.
  • To investigate the role of proprioception in planning and amending limb trajectories during voluntary movements.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted using direct sensory perturbation techniques.
  • Experiment 1 involved rapid goal-directed movements with direct visual (liquid crystal goggles) and proprioceptive (tendon vibration) perturbations.
  • Experiment 2 used an imperceptible target jump to probe online trajectory corrections under similar perturbation conditions.

Main Results:

  • No significant evidence was found for proprioceptive feedback contributing to online control in Experiment 1.
  • Participants successfully corrected for target jumps in Experiment 2, even with tendon vibration applied.
  • Results consistently highlighted the importance of visual feedback for online limb-target regulation.

Conclusions:

  • Vision plays a critical role in the online regulation of voluntary limb movements.
  • Proprioception appears to have a limited role in real-time limb-target adjustments compared to vision.
  • Direct perturbation methods confirm the dominance of visual feedback in online motor control.
