Q

final common pathway

A

the motor route (efferent signals) a neural signal takes from the CNS and travels OUT until it reaches endpoint like the hand muscle or larynx; innervate individual strcutres or muscles

damage to FCP affects individual muscles or muscle groups

all nerves that have to do with movement (contracting muscles) pass along FCP

  • message is sent out, no way of getting it back
  • last chunk of neurons firing on that pathway
  • flaccid dysarthria: damage to FCP affects individual muscles of muscle groups

assess each subsystem of speech separately (LMN assess individual cranial nerves)

injury to brain and injury to white matter in spinal cord

42
Q

bulbar spinal tract

A

the nerves and tracts connected to the medulla, and also by association to the muscles thus innervated, those of the tongue, pharynx and larynx
- brainstem and medulla (CNS)

43
Q

SLN - innervates cricothyriod muscle, sensory above glottis
RLN - below the cord; sensory below glottis

The cricothyroid muscle is the only tensor muscle of the larynx aiding with phonation. It is innervated by the superior laryngeal nerve. Its action tilts the thyroid forward to help tense the vocal cords, thus increasing the pitch of the voice.
