Brains, Muscles and Nerves: the Neuromuscular System
Every day we move our muscles millions of times, from the broad powerful strokes of walking to the delicate balances of our fingers - oftentimes without consciously doing so. But what really controls our movements? How does our brain communicate with our bodies to allow us to walk, stand up-right, jump, or hug?
Join us at HiveBio for an exciting class exploring the world of the neuromuscular system and action potentials taught by UW's Kaelan Yu. Kaelan's workshop delves into the interactions between the muscular system and neurosystem that drives all of our movements, from running a marathon, to fine motor skills or our never-ending heartbeats. We'll take a look at the patellar reflex, see cricket legs twitch with a Spiker box, and see how nerve concentrations drive differences in sensation. This course is geared toward young scientists with an interest in animal biology.
Maximum class size is 15, pre-registration is required.
