Study Notes
Open-loop control
- Open-loop control relies on pre-programmed movements without feedback.
- Movements proceed once initiated without adjustments based on the outcome.
- Effective when conditions remain unchanged.
- Inefficient when unexpected changes occur.
Closed-loop control
- Closed-loop control involves feedback for error detection and correction.
- Sensory feedback is compared to the desired state.
- Differences (errors) trigger adjustments by updating the movement.
- Requires attention and time for processing feedback.
- Reflexes contribute to closed-loop control.
Types of feedback in closed loop control
- Muscle spindles contribute to feedback by sensing muscle length (stretch).
- Primary (Ia) endings sense rapid changes in muscle length.
- Secondary (II) endings sense steady-state length.
- Gamma efferent neurons adjust spindle sensitivity.
- Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) provide feedback about muscle force (tension).
- GTOs are located at muscle-tendon junctions.
- They signal changes in muscle tension through Ib afferent fibers.
Reflex responses in closed loop model
- M1 loop is the fastest reflex.
- Carries feedback about muscle length to the spinal cord (SC).
- Minimal involvement with higher brain centers.
- M2 loop (functional stretch reflex) is longer than M1.
- Carries feedback about muscle length and joint/body position.
- Involves higher brain centers.
- M3 loop is the slowest reflex.
- Involves the highest control centers (brain).
- Responsible for voluntary action and sustained adjustments.
Feedback Control: Closed Loop
- The CNS uses sensory information to control movement by comparing desired and actual states.
- Comparator: Detects differences (errors).
- Executive: Issues commands based on error signals from the comparator.
- Effector: Executes commands and performs the action.
Feedback sources
- Peripheral sensing of joint angles and skin deformation.
- Sensing of muscle length (spindles).
- Sensing of muscle forces generated by GTOs.
