chapter 16-17 autonomic nervous system Flashcards
two types of pathways
ascending and descending
ascending tracts
conduct sensory impulses to brain
descending tract
conduct motor impulses to brain
ordered neurons involved in sensory pathway
1,2,3 order
sensory ordered neuron that sends sensory info to the CNS
first order
sensory ordered neuron that receives impulse first; spinal cord or brain stem
second order
sensory ordered neuron that carries signal from thalamus to cerebral cortex
3rd order
somatic motor pathways involve how many ordered neurons
1.2
somatic motor neuron that is in CNS
first order neuron
somatic motor neuron from CNS to effector
second order neuron
autonomic motor neuron involves what neurons
first order, pre ganglion and post ganglion
autonomic motor neuron in the CNS
first order
autonomic motor neiron from CNS to peripheral ganglion
pre ganglion neuron
autonomic motor neuron from ganglion to effector
post ganglion neuron
ascending pathways
posterior column pathway, later spinothalamic, anterior spinothalamic, anterior spinocerebellar, posterior spinocerebellar
ascending pathway which sides cross at medulla. sensory impulses from skin, muscle, tendons, joints– percieved as fine touch, pressure, body position
posterior column pathway
ascending pathway which sides cross in spinal cord. sensation fo pain and temperature
spinothalamic pathway– lateral tract
synapsing occur at spinothalamic pathway– lateral tract. where does it go through?
spine and thalamus. lateral white tract
synapsing occur at posterior white column. where does it go through?
medulla and thalamus. posterior white column
ascending pathway which sides cross in spinal cord. sensation of crude touch and pressure
spinothalamic pathway– anterior tract
synapsing occuring at spinothalamic– anterior tract. where does it go
spine and thalamus. anterior white column
ascending pathway that deal with the proprioception for fine coordination. no synapsing in the thalamus beuase it never makes it to the cortex– deals with subconscious processing
apinocerebellar pathway– anterior and lateral
ascending tract of spinocerebellar pathway that does not cross in spinal cord
posterior tract of spinocerebellar pathway
ascending tract of spinocerebellar pathway that does cross over in the spinal cord
anterior tract of spinocerebellar pathway
descending pathway which controls involontary movements. generally direct– upper motor neurons synapse onto lower motor neurons
corticospinal pathway
descending pathway that synapse with cortex and spinal cord
corticospinal pathways
types of corticospinal pathways
corticobulbar, lateral corticospinal, anterior corticospinal tracts
