Definitions |
A bodily process of a human that involves co-ordinated contraction of striated muscles controlled by the brain. Striated muscles referred to in the definition do not ordinarily involve cardiac muscles. Behaviours are usually in response to an internal or external stimuli. Every behaviour is associated with mental processes, but not every mental process is associated with behaviour. For instance, a verbal communication behaviour will involve mental processes to produce speech. However, mental processes associated with listening can occur without a person performing a behaviour. 'behaviours' can involve a series of activities (e.g., more granular behaviours). 'A 'striated muscle' can defined as 'a type of contractile tissue that is marked by transverse striations it is concerned with moving skeletal parts to which it is usually attached.'
