The sensorimotor system encompasses all of the sensory, motor,
and central integration and processing components involved with
maintaining joint homeostasis during bodily movements (functional
joint stability).Thus, functional joint stability is an inherently
complex and complicated physiologic process.
Sensorimotor cortex is the area of the brain that comprises the
precentral and postcentral gyri and thus covers the primary sensory
and motor areas of the brain.It regulates somatosensory and motor
functions.
The somatosensory cortex receives all sensory input from the
body. Cells that are part of the brain or nerves that extend into
the body are called neurons. Neurons that sense feelings in our
skin, pain, visual, or auditory stimuli, all send their information
to the somatosensory cortex for processing.
The role of the primary motor cortex is to generate neural
impulses that control the execution of movement.
