Anthropomorphic Anatomy, Period 3, 11 Feb '09
"Muscle memory," said Mohinder, from the front of a Danger Shop created classroom emptier than usual of desk and chairs. He threw the tennis ball toward one wall, and - eyes still on the class - flicked the rebound through an open window. "Or where what practice doesn't make perfect, it does make automatic."
"Your physical actions are controlled by your nervous system issuing commands to muscles. Much of this is autonomic; you don't think of blood vessels contracting, pupils expanding or releasing digestived chemicals. Which is lucky, as conscious control over more than the 640 skeletal muscles would not leave much, if any, time for anything else."
"I know most of these are named in Latin," Mohinder continued, passing round the handouts as he spoke about muscle movement. "I'm afraid it's a hazard of the subject."
"Now to see muscles in action." Mohinder pressed a button and a human sized figure stripped down to the musculaskeletal system wavered into being next to him. He slipped on a glove tagged with sensors and balled it into a fist. The hologram followed the movement, muscles and tendons visbly sliding into position. "The sensors aren't just limited to your hands," he said, nudging the box at his feet. "So you should be able to see a wide movement range."
[Wait for it...OCD is a go!]
