exam 4 Flashcards
Posterior Funicalus
Impulses for light touch, pressure, proprioception
Lateral Spinothalamic
Impulses for pain and temp up the spinal cord
Tectospinal tract
Carries impulses down the spinal cord that are generated in the corpora quadrigemina
Anterior Spinothalamic
Carriers impulses for crude touch and pressure going up thalamus
Corticospinal trat
Carries impulses generated by the primary motor cortex coming down the spinal cord
Spinocebbular tract
Carries impulses generated y cerebellum doing down the spinal cord
Reticulospinal tract
Carries impulses generated by the reticular formation going down the spinal cord
Vestibulospinal tract
generatd by inner ear going down the spinal cord
Spinocerebellar tract
generatd for propioception up to an area of hindbrain
Sensory found in the ?
doral horn
Motor found in the?
Ventral horn
Nerves: each process is surrounded by a loose connective tissue covering called the
Endoneurium
Each process is grouped together as a
Fascicle and is surrounded by another layer of CT known as the perineurium
Each nerve is surrounded by a final layer of CT known as the
Epineurium
Sensory moved towards
CNS
Motor moves
away from the CNS to muscles and glands
Mixed nerves contain both
Sensory and motor
Cranial nerves consists
12 pair of nerves that emerge from nuclei located in the brain stem
Except for three pair of sensiry nerves (optic, olfactory, vestibulocochlear).
Excpet for nerves 10 (vagus) , 11 (accessory)
Supply special snese (sight, hearing, taste, smell)
