Q

A.  anterior spinothalamic tract 
B.  cuneocerebellar tract 
C.  dorsal  spinocerebellar tract 
D.  lateral spinothalamic tract 
E.  ventral spinocerebellar tract
A

C. dorsal spinocerebellar tract

For questions 219-225 see Carp pp. 86-92. The lateral spinothalamic tract
arises from cells in laminae I, IV, and V, and transmits pain and temperature
sensation. Fibers in this tract cross in the anterior white commissure, usually
within one spinal segment. The anterior spinothalamic tract also arises from
cells in laminae I, N, and V. and crosses in a decussation that involves several
segments. It transmits light touch. The dorsal spinocerebellar tract is uncrossed
and arises from cells of the dorsal nucleus of Clarke (from C8 to L2). The ventral
spinocerebellar tract is crossed, whereas the cuneocerebellar tract is uncrossed.
The latter three tracts transmit unconscious exteroceptive impulses concerned
with movement and posture. The cuneocerebellar tract transmits impulses
from the upper extremity, whereas the dorsal spinocerebellar tract transmits
impulses from the lower extremity.

Q
226.  The  majority of  fibers  descend only to cervical levels. 
A.  corticospinal tract 
B.  reticulospinal  tract 
C  rubrospinal tract 
D.  tectospinal tract 
E.  vestibulospinal tract
A

D. tectospinal tract

For questions 226-230 see Carp pp. 94-104. The corticospinal tract divides
into a large crossed lateral corticospinal tract, small uncrossed anterior cor-
ticospinal tract, and a minute (about 2% of fibers) uncrossed anterolateral
corticospinal tract at the junction of the medulla and spinal cord. The tec-
tospinal tract arises from cells in the superior colliculus, terminates in the
upper four cervical levels, and mediates reflex postural movements in response
to visual stimuli. The rubrospinal tract arises from the magnocellular region of the red nucleus, and its most important function is in the control of flexor
muscle tone. The vestibulospinal tract arises mainly from the lateral vestibu-
larnucleus. This tract facilitates spinal reflex activity and spinal mechanisms
that control extensor tone. The tectospinal and rubrospinal tracts are both
crossed, whereas the vestibulospinal tract is uncrossed. The reticulospinal
tracts arise from the pontine tegmentum (pontine reticulospinal tract) and the
medulla (medullary reticulospinal tract). The former is uncrossed, whereas
the latter consists of crossed and uncrossed components. Stimulation of the
brainstem reticular formation can facilitate and inhibit voluntary movement,
cortically induced movement, and reflex activity, among other effects.

C.  both 
D.  neither
A

C. both

Carp p. 17. Molecules also move across the blood-brain barrier by diffusion.
Substance that cross the blood-brain barrier by diffusion include water and
alcohol. D-glucose and large neutral amino acids are transported into the
brain by carrier-mediated transport. Active transport is used to move weak
organic acids, halides, and extracellular K+ from the brain and cerebrospinal
fluid into plasma.
