Understanding Muscle Control through the Neuromuscular System
10:58 - 19:11 (08:13)
The neuromuscular system involves the control of muscles through upper motor neurons, lower motor neurons and central pattern generators. Muscles contract through the release of acetylcholine from motor neurons in the neuromuscular system.
