AB  - DURING  PURPOSEFUL  MOVEMENTS  the  central  nervous  system  uses  information  from  a  vast  array  of  sensory  receptors  to  ensure  that  the  pattern  of  muscle  activity  suits  the  purpose.  Without  this  sensory  information,  movements  tend  to  be  imprecise,  and  tasks  requiring  fine  coordination  in  the  hands,  such  as  buttoning  one’s  shirt,  are  difficult.  The  sensory-motor  integration  that  makes  the  ongoing  regulation  of  movement  possible  takes  place  at  many  levels  of  the  nervous  system,  but  the  spinal  cord  has  a  special  role  because  of  the  close  coupling  in  the  cord  between  sensory  input  and  the  motor  output  to  the  muscles.
