24
Q

Posterior Cranial Fossa

A

Pons
Medulla
Cerebellum

25
Q

The three meningeal layers from superficial to deep are:

A

Dura matter (receives most of its blood supply from the middle meningeal artery)
Arachnoid matter
Pia matter

26
Q

Falx Cerebri

A

Separates the right & left lobes of the cortex

27
Q

Tentorium cerebelli

A

Separates the occipital and temporal lobes from the cerebellum

28
Q
A
29
Q

Choroid Plexus

A

Makes CSF

30
Q

Contusions are

A

Bruises of the brain caused by forceful contact between the brain and the skull itself

31
Q

Concussions are

A

Bruises of the brain caused by forceful contact between the brain and the skull but involves loss of consciousness

32
Q

Fine touch receptors

A

Meissen corpuscles, Markell cells, Ruffini

33
Q

Pressure receptors

A

Pacinian corpuscles

34
Q

Pain and temperature receptors

A

Free nerve endings

35
Q

DCML

A

Dorsal Column-Medial Lemniscal System- receives fine touch and vibration sensations from skin as well as proprioceptive input from muscles spindle fibers and golgi tendon organs

36
Q

Lower limb inputs

A

Fasiculus gracilis - think “ Graceful legs”

37
Q

Fascicles cuneatus

A

Think UE- cute arms

38
Q

ALS -

A

Anterolateral system/ Spinothalamic tract - Receives pain temperature and crude touch sensations from skin

39
Q

DCML: Lesions ABOVE the Decussation causes _________signs.

A

CONTRALATERAL

40
Q

DCML: Lesions BELOW the Decussation causes ______________ signs.

A

IPSILATERAL

41
Q

ALS: Because axons that enter this pathway Decussation continuously after they reach the spinal cord, any lesion to this tract will have _______________signs below the site of the lesion.

A

CONTRALATERAL

42
Q

Muscle spindle fibers getting stretched then they must increase the tone ( in stretched agonist) to bring it back to normal-

A

Decrease tone in the antagonists

43
Q

Golgi tendon is only active after deep stretch

A

(Decreases tone in the agonist and) increases tone in the antagonists
