Sensory System
In the second phase of the scenario the ball is seen coming towards the individual. As the occipital lobe processes this information the process is repeated of transmitting information from one cell to another. Information will once again be transmitted from one cell to another. When this phase is complete the final phase begins (Morris & Maisto, 2005).
The response to reach out and catch the ball occurs in this final phase of the scenario as successfully transmitted messages in earlier phases trigger this response. Now the frontal lobe receives the previously processed information and begins to prepare for future movement. The frontal lobe plays a significant role during this phase as this is the area responsible for voluntary action which allows the body to respond to the messages being received. The final message is sent producing an almost reflexive response to reach out and catch the ball with the glove (Morris & Maisto, 2005).
During this scenario multiple occurrences of transmission of information have taken place. While the scenario likely began and completed itself in a matter of only seconds countless transmissions have gone from one region of the brain to another. In the event any of these...
