8.8 Flashcards
where can we find the supraspinal motor control?
medulla midbrain cerebellum basal ganglia motor cortex
conscious movements are related to
lateral pathway
unconscious movements are related to
medial pathway
lateral pathways:
- lateral corticospinal tract
- rubrospinal tracth
medial pathways:
- ant corticospinal tract
- corticoreticular
- vestibulospinal
- pontine-reticulospinat
- medullary-reticulospinat
- tectospinal
medial pathway passes in
ventral funiculus
Brain stem is responsible for
coordination and postural reflexes
describe what are postural reflexes
autonomic movements that control the equilibrium we require once upright and moving
maintain posture
balance fluidity of movement
where is the Decerebation cut?
at ponto-medullary junction
Decerebation reflexes are from?
Medulla
Decerebation 1st reflex
Vestibular (Tonic Labyrinith) reflex= High tone of extensor muscles in all 4 limbs
like babies! when limbs extend, head extands too
Decerebation 2nd reflex
Neck reflexes-
baby is lying on the back, head is towards right side. also right arm will be extand, and the left arm will flex
Decortication cut?
above red nucleus
Decortication reflexes are from?
Midbrain
