    The chapati movement involved the unusual distribution of chapatis, a type of unleavened flatbread, across several North Indian villages in early 1857. [1] The ultimate origin of the movement is unknown; though British agents suggested the chapatis might contain secret notes, inspections revealed no such messages. [2]

  4. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    All movements, e.g. touching your nose, require motor neurons to fire action potentials that results in contraction of muscles. In humans, ~150,000 motor neurons control the contraction of ~600 muscles. To produce movements, a subset of 600 muscles must contract in a temporally precise pattern to produce the right force at the right time. [6]

    The list below describes such skeletal movements as normally are possible in particular joints of the human body. Other animals have different degrees of movement at their respective joints; this is because of differences in positions of muscles and because structures peculiar to the bodies of humans and other species block motions unsuited to ...

    The skeletal system serves many important functions; it provides the shape and form for the body, support and protection, allows bodily movement, produces blood for the body, and stores minerals. [4] The number of bones in the human skeletal system is a controversial topic.

  8. Human anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_anatomy

    Gross anatomy has become a key part of visual arts. Basic concepts of how muscles and bones function and deform with movement is key to drawing, painting or animating a human figure. Many books such as Human Anatomy for Artists: The Elements of Form, are written as a guide to drawing the human body anatomically correctly. [4]

  9. Central pattern generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_pattern_generator

    The swimming movement is produced by alternating neural activity between the left and right side of the body, causing it to bend back and forth while creating oscillating movements. While the Lamprey is bent to the left, there is reciprocal inhibition on the right side causing it to relax due to hyperpolarization.
