Given what we know about the interaction of the brain, eyes, nerves, and muscles, we can confirm that each of these works together by communicating through the cerebellum.
The cerebellum is the part of the brain that is in charge of conscious and coordinated movements. Therefore, in the situation described, the ability of Tamra to block the soccer ball would be completed in a series of steps, which are:
- Tamra sees the ball
- The optical nerve sends the information to the brain
- The brain processes the information
- Tamra makes a decision to block
- The cerebellum processes this decision and coordinates the movement
- An impulse is sent throughout the motor nerves of Tamra's body
- Tamra's muscles contract in a precise and coordinated order, causing her to spring into action.
From there, whether she will block the ball or not will depend entirely on her depth perception, reflexes, overall ability, training.
