    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSDCORB

    Gulick notes that any manager will have a finite amount of time and energy, and discusses span of control under coordination. Drawing from the work of Henri Fayol , Gulick notes that the number of subordinates that can be handled under any single manager will depend on factors such as organizational stability and the specialization of the ...

  3. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    All organisms face the computational challenges above, so neural circuits for motor control have been studied in humans, monkeys, [10] horses, cats, [11] mice, [12] fish [13] lamprey, [14] flies, [15] locusts, [16] and nematodes, [17] among many others. Mammalian model systems like mice and monkeys offer the most straightforward comparative ...

  4. Muscular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_system

    These attach to and control discrete bundles of muscle fibers. A coordinated and fine-tuned response to a specific circumstance will involve controlling the precise number of motor units used. While individual muscle units' contract as a unit, the entire muscle can contract on a predetermined basis due to the structure of the motor unit.

  5. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    In physiology, motor coordination is the orchestrated movement of multiple body parts as required to accomplish intended actions, like walking. This coordination is achieved by adjusting kinematic and kinetic parameters associated with each body part involved in the intended movement.

    The Nazi term Gleichschaltung (German pronunciation: [ˈɡlaɪçʃaltʊŋ] ⓘ), meaning "synchronization" or "bringing into line", was the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler—leader of the Nazi Party in Germany—established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society "from the economy and ...

  7. Fine motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_motor_skill

    Fine motor skill (or dexterity) is the coordination of small muscles in movement with the eyes, hands and fingers.The complex levels of manual dexterity that humans exhibit can be related to the nervous system.

  8. Nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system

    At a more integrative level, the primary function of the nervous system is to control the body. [5] It does this by extracting information from the environment using sensory receptors, sending signals that encode this information into the central nervous system, processing the information to determine an appropriate response, and sending output ...

  9. Motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_skill

    A motor skill is a function that involves specific movements of the body's muscles to perform a certain task. These tasks could include walking, running, or riding a bike. In order to perform this skill, the body's nervous system, muscles, and brain have to all work together.
