Q

Cerebral cortex (7 areas/things it does)

A

1) primary motor cortex (direct stim lower motor neurons)
2) premotor cortex (involved in planning and selecting movement)
3) supplemental motor area (involved in planning internally-cued movement)
4) somatotopic organization
- medial/superior: legs
- dorsal: hands/arms
- lateral: face
5) controls contralateral body
6) controls large groups of muscles
7) hands/face are in different vascular distribution from legs

Q

Corticobulbar tract path

A

1) terminates in brainstem nuclei
2) controls motor movement to face
3) mostly bilateral innervation
4) facial nucleus (facial motor control)
- upper face = bilateral innervation
- lower face =
- -unilateral contralateral innervation
- - fibers cross in pons before facial nucleus

Q

Lateral corticospinal tract (path)

A

1) decussates in medullary pyramids
2) controls movement of extremities
3) continues down lateral column of spinal cord

17
Q

Anterior corticospinal tract (path)

A

1) does NOT decussate - remains in anterior columns
2) controls axial muscles (posture)
3) commissural projections connect both sides

18
Q

Rubrospinal tract (path)

A

1) starts at red nucleus, ends in cervical cord
2) decussates in ventral tegmental area (midbrain)
3) continues in lateral cervical cord
4) controls flexor tone of upper limbs
5) involved in decorticate posturing (ie., flexor posturing)

19
Q

Vestibulospinal tract (path)

A

1) starts at vestibular nuclei
2) medial vestibulospinal tract
a. projects to cervical spinal cord
b. controls head movement
c. stabilizes head while body moves (steadycam)
3) lateral vestibulospinal tract
a. projects to entire cord, proximal muscles
b. controls balance

20
Q

Reticulospinal tract (path)

A

1) starts in reticular formation, ends in entire cord

* automatic gait/posture movements

21
Q

Tectospinal tract (path)

A

1) starts in superior colliculus, ends in whole spine

* possibly motor systems w/ eye movement coordination

22
Q

Cerebrocerebellum

A
  • Lateral hemispheres

- involved in extremity movement

23
Q

Spinocerebellum

A
  • Medial (including vermis)

- involved in posture

24
Q

Vestibulocerebellum

A
  • inferior

- integrate movement with eyes

25
Q

Deep nuclei

A
  • imbedded within cerebellar white matter
  • input from cerebellum cortex
  • primary output of cerebellum
26
Q

Superior Cerebellar peduncles

A
  • Efferent (output) tract
  • Projects to cortex (via thalamus) and superior colliculus
  • Fibers decussate (projects to contralateral cortex)
27
Q

Middle cerebellar peduncles

A
  • Afferent (input) tract
  • Receives input from contralateral pontine nuclei
  • Input originates in the cortex (contralateral)
28
Q

Inferior cerebellar peduncles

A
  • Afferent/efferent tracts
  • Projects to brainstem nuclei
  • Receives input from brainstem nuclei and spine (ipsilateral)
29
Q

Connectivity input (cortex via where? , etc., ipsilateral or contralateral?)

A
  • Cortex via pontine nuclei, and middle cerebellar peduncle
  • Spinal cord and vestibular nuclei via inferior cerebellar peduncle
  • Input from ipsilateral side of body
30
Q

Connectivity output (cortex via where? , etc., ipsilateral or contralateral?)

A
  • Cortex via thalamus through the superior cerebellar peduncle
  • Brainstem nuclei through inferior cerebellar peduncle
  • Output to ipsilateral side of body
31
Q

Cerebellar circuitry

  • input cells
  • integration cells
  • output cells
A 
Input cells:
    a. Mossy fibers
    b. Granule
Integration cells:
     a. Basket 
     b. Stellate
     c. Golgi
Output cells:
     a. Purkinje
32
Q

I dont know what this means so just read the other side! (pathology stuff?)

A
  • Cerebellar ataxia
    a. Cerebrocerebellum: limb dysmetria
    b. Spinocerebellum: ataxic gait
    c. Vestibulocerebellum: nystagmus, vestibulo-ocular reflex
  • Contributions to speech
33
Q

In regards to muscles….
somatic motor system uses what?
Autonomic uses what?

A

Somatic: striated skeletal muscles
Autonomic: smooth or cardiac muscles

34
Q

A

i. “Fight or flight” response
ii. Pupillary dilation
iii. Blood vessel constriction
iv. Heart rate increase
v. Bronchial relaxation
vi. Inhibition of digestion
vii. Causes ejaculation/orgasm

35
Q

Parasympathetic various functions

A

i. “Rest and digest” response
ii. Pupillary constriction
iii. Stimulates salivation
iv. Blood vessel dilation to intestines
v. Slows heart rate
vi. Stimulates digestion
vii. Causes penile/clitoral erection

36
Q

What is/are the preganglionic neurotransmitter?

A

Acetylcholine (nicotinic receptors)

37
Q

What is/are the postganglionic neurotransmitter(s)?

A
  • Parasympathetic: Acetylcholine (muscarinic receptors)

- Sympathetic: Norepinephrine

38
Q
