Brain Stem Structure Flashcards
integrative funcitons are performed by diffuse nucleus w/in the brainstem called
the reticular formation
help regulate consciousness and constains respiratory CV centers
reticular formation
Brainstem serves as a ______ for ascending sensory and descending motor tracts
conduit
Controls voluntary movement of limbs
Corticospinal tract
damage to anterior part of brainstem results in a :
motor deficeit
transmists sensory info for pain and temp
spinothalamic (lies more lateral)
transmists sensory info for touch, vibration, pressure and proprioception
Posterior Colunm/Medial Lemnisucs (lies medially and flares out)
Cell bodies of neurons are clustered _______ throughout brainstem and serve as origin of motor or termination of sensory CNs
nuclei
NS developed from
neural tube
Nueural tube has a ______ for motor and a ______ for sensory
basal plate
alar plate
basal plate and alar plate are seperated by
sulcus limitans
brainstem devo is simular to
sp cd devo
Alar will start to fan out more ______ while basal stays more ________
laterally
medially
CN nuclie are arranged in
Functional Columns
CNs in the midbrain
Optic Opthalmic Oculomotor Trochlear I-IV
CNs in the Pons
Trigeminal Abducens Facial Vestibulocochlear V-VIII
CNs in the Medulla
Glossopharnygeal Vagus Accesory Hypoglossal IX-XII
CN nuclei are Clusters of Cell Bodies ______ the brainstem
and nuclie are
WITHIN
bilateral
Somatic motor (red) is located
Most medial
Branchial motor (orange function)
Innervates skeletal mslc derived from brachial arches; muscles of mastication, facial expression, pharynx, larynx
Somatic motor (red) funx
innervates skeletal mals in head and neck that are derived from myotomes
What Brainstem nuclei are located in the Somatic Motor column
Oculomotor (III)
Troclear (IV)
Abducens (VI)
Hypoglossal (XII)
