Exam 4 Flashcards
Function of lateral cuneate nucleus
IL unconscious proprioception from upper extremity
Function of medial lemniscus
CL conscious proprioception from UE and LE (fibers cross to form the medial lemniscus)
What is in the level of sensory decussation of medulla
Lateral cuneate nucleus - unconscious proprioception from UE
Pyramids
Medial lemniscus - conscious proprioception from UE and LE
Function of medial longitudinal fasiculus
Axons of nerves (3,4,6) to eye muscles
Function of medial vestibular nucleus
Origin of medial vestibulospinal tract to innervate neck musculature
Function of inferior olivary nucleus
Relay stay between cortex and cerebellum and participate in allowing smooth coordinated movement
Parts of medulla at level of CN X/XII
Medial longitudinal fasiculus
Medial vestibular nucleus
Inferior olivary nucleus
Inferior cerebellar peduncle
Somatic Motor portion of vagus nerve
Innervates pharyngeal, laryngeal, and palate muscles
Cell bodies in nucleus ambiguus
Dysfunctions of somatic motor fibers of vagus nerve
Hoarseness - intrinsic of larynx
Dysphagia - palate and pharyngeal
Arch of soft palate droops on affected side and uvula deviates toward unaffected side
Visceral motor portion of vagus nerve
Causes decreased HR and contractility
Pre-ganglionic parasympathetic nerve cell bodies located in dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus and nucleus ambiguus
Visceral Sensory portion of vagus nerve
Baro and chemo receptors in aortic arch
Pathway for visceral sensory portion of vagus nerve
Baro and chemo receptors in aortic arch
Inferior ganglion of CN X
Central processes enter medualla and descend in tractus solitarius
Synapse on neurons in nucelus solitarius
Neurons send axons to cardiorespiratory centers in meduall and nucleus ambiguus (visceral motor portion of CN X)
Hypoglossal nerve supplies
Intrinsic muscles of tongue Genioglossal muscle (protrudes tongue and contralateral deviation of the tongue)
UMN Lesion to hypoglossal nerve
tongue deviates to opposite side of lesion due to unopposed pull of ipsilateral genioglossal muscles
LMN Lesion of hypoglossal nerve
Tongue deviates to ipsilateral side
