Q

What are the two exogenous pain control options? What do they do?

A

NSAIDS act peripherally to lock neurons from perceiving pain at site of injury. Opiates act peripherally to limit pain frequency/intensity, and within the CNS to prevent neurotransmission

Q

What are the three portions of the motor system? What do they do?

A

Corticospinal tract (spends info from brain to body)
Basal ganglia (specific, complex motor sequences)

Q

Name the three structures within the basal ganglia.

A

caudate nucleus, putamin & globus pallidus

17
Q

What is included within the striatum?

A

Caudate and putamen

18
Q

What is included within the lentiform nucleus?

A

Putamen & globus pallidus

19
Q

What are the related midbrain nuclei to the basal ganglia?

A

Susbtania nigra, subthalamic nucleus

20
Q

What causes Huntington’s?

A

Degeneration in striatum = increased movements

21
Q

What causes Parkinson’s?

A

Lack of dopamine, difficulties start-stopping movements

22
Q

Basal ganglia is helpful for what, in comparison to the cerebellum?

A

Basal ganglia is responsible for low-risk, simple movement. Cerebellum is responsible for higher level movement.

23
Q

What is the corticopontine tract?

A

Tract from cortex to pons. Responsible for appendicular control, critical for fine control of hands and limbs.

24
Q

What is the spinocerebellar tract?

A

Tract from spinal cord to cortex. Responsible for axial control, takes in proprioception info from joints and muscles, then sent to cerebellum.

25
Q

Both ______ ______ and ________ ______ go through the thalamus.

A

Basal ganglia, cerebellar pathways

26
Q

The ________ ______ acts as an integrating center for some _________.

A

Spinal cord, reflexes

27
Q

Reflexes can be ________, _________, ________, ________.

A

Somatic, autonomic, monosynaptic, polysynaptic

28
Q

Sensory (_________) and motor (_______) information interface and integrate at the ________ ________.

A

Afferent, efferent, spinal cord

29
Q

Reflexes are fast, __________, unplanned sequences of events in response to a ___________.

A

Involuntary, stimulus
