  2. Swashplate (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swashplate_(aeronautics)

    Swash plate in the resting position. A raised swashplate causing negative collective blade pitch and thus down-force. Note that the control arms are on the trailing side of the blades, causing the raised swashplate to decrease the blade pitch.

  3. Motor cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cortex

    The supplementary motor area (or SMA), has many proposed functions including the internally generated planning of movement, the planning of sequences of movement, and the coordination of the two sides of the body such as in bi-manual coordination. Located on the midline surface of the hemisphere anterior to the primary motor cortex.

  4. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    Motor control is the regulation of movements in organisms that possess a nervous system.Motor control includes conscious voluntary movements, subconscious muscle memory and involuntary reflexes, [1] as well as instinctual taxes.

  5. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    The left half of the plate shows the deformed shape, while the right half shows the undeformed shape. This calculation was performed using Ansys. Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate perpendicular to the plane of the plate under the action of external forces and moments.

  6. Divergent boundary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_boundary

    Continental-continental divergent/constructive boundary Oceanic divergent boundary: mid-ocean ridge (cross-section/cut-away view). In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

  7. List of tectonic plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tectonic_plates

    These smaller plates are often not shown on major plate maps, as the majority of them do not comprise significant land area. For purposes of this list, a minor plate is any plate with an area less than 20 million km 2 (7.7 million sq mi) but greater than 1 million km 2 (0.39 million sq mi).

  8. Proprioception and motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception_and_Motor...

    This feedback allows for more fine control of movement. In the brain, proprioceptive integration occurs in the somatosensory cortex, and motor commands are generated in the motor cortex. In the spinal cord, sensory and motor signals are integrated and modulated by motor neuron pools called central pattern generators (CPGs).

  9. Antarctic plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Plate

    The Antarctic plate is a tectonic plate containing the continent of Antarctica, the Kerguelen Plateau, and some remote islands in the Southern Ocean and other surrounding oceans. After breakup from Gondwana (the southern part of the supercontinent Pangea ), the Antarctic plate began moving the continent of Antarctica south to its present ...
