voluntary movements | Voluntary movements are those under conscious control. |
rhythmic movements | can be controlled voluntarily but differ in that their timing and spatial organisation are to a larger extent controlled autonomously by spinal or stem circuitry. |
reflexes | are stereotyped responses to specific stimuli that are generated by neural circuits in the spinal cord or brain stem (although some reflexes involve pathways through cortex). |
