Q

Dermatomes

A

Mesoderm—-> somites

Somites retain connectivity with originating vertebral level

Somites differentiate

Result in different regions of the body connected to different parts of spinal cord

Q

Fibers of the Spinal Cord

A

Long ascending—> thalamus, cerebellum, brainstem

Long descending–> from cortex to spinal cord

Local propriospinal- shorter fibers that interconnect different parts of spinal cord

17
Q

Spinal Tracts

A

Carries specific type of sensory/motor info

Most tracts consist of 2-3 neurons

Has a consistent location at all spinal cord level

Usually cross over at some point

18
Q

Ascending Tracts

A

Dorsal Column Medial Lemniscal

Spinocerebellar

Anterolateral (spinothalamic)

19
Q

Spinocerebellar Tract

A

Provide info from legs

Ipsilateral to cerebellum

20
Q

Cuneocerebellar Tract

A

Info from arms

Ipsilateral to cerebellum

21
Q

Reticulospinal Tract

A

Involved in locomotion and posture (need to be awake to move)

Includes pontine and medullary branches

22
Q

Tectospinal Tract

A

Orientation of head towards source of visual or auditory stimuli

Descending

23
Q

Vestibulospinal Tract

A

Centre of gravity/posture

Descending

24
Q

Raphespinal Tract

A

Pain modulation

Descending

25
Q

Symptoms of UMN Damage

A

Shock (paralysis and areflexia) followed by hyperreflexia

26
Q

Symptoms of LMN Disease

A

Paralysis followed by areflexia and muscle atrophy
