Chapter 11 Part 2 Flashcards
_______ Feedback from muscles for speech is very important in coordinating speech!
Sensory
impaired rapid alternating movements
Dysdiadochokinesia
Repeat “pa-ta-ka” as quickly ad as accurately as possible
Diadochokinetic Rates
Harsh voice, monopitch loud voice; Imprecise consonants and irregular breakdown in articulation
Ataxic dysarthria
Ascending pathway up to the brain
Direct pathway
Pathway that may be ascending/descending and can make more stops before reaching the cortex
Indirect pathway
What makes up the direct motor pathway (3)?
Lateral corticobulbar, lateral corticospinal, and anterior corticospinal tracts
Pathway function is to decussates at medulla/spinal cord juncture
Direct motor pathway
Functions is to send signals to muscles of the face
Lateral corticobulbar
Function is to send signals to lateral muscles of the body parts
Lateral corticospinal
What 3 parts make up the pyramidal system?
Lateral corticobulbar, lateral corticospinal, anterior corticospinal
What does the direct motor system do?
Voluntary motor movement on the contralateral side
Main center of direct motor tract = ________
Primary motor cortex
Upper part of the tract = ______
Upper motor neurons
Lower part of the tract = ______
Lower motor neurons
