Lecture 5- Cerebellum Flashcards
what fissure divides the anterior and posterior lobes of the cerebellum
primary fissure
what is the structural division of the cerebellum
anterior lobe
posterior lobe
flocculonodular lobe
what fissure divides the posterior and flocculonodular lobes of the cerebellum
posteriolateral fissure
what is lobule X
flocculonodular lobe
what is chiari malformation
defective development of the cerebellum from uvula and tonsil in lobule 9
what is the primary cause of hydrocephalus
chiari malformation
what is type 1 of chiari malformation
herniation of uvula and tonsil through foramen magnum
does not block CSF flow
what is type 2 of chiari malformation
arnold-chiari malformation
herniation with myelomeningocele
what is type 3 of chiari malformation
herniation of uvula and tonsil plus medulla
encephalocele
what is type 4 of chiari malformation
cerebellar hypoplasia
under developed
what is the largest lobe of the cerebellum
7
what makes up the functional division of the cerebellum
spinocerebellum
cerebrocerebellum
vestibulocerebellum
what makes up spinocerebellum
vermis: posture and prox extremity
medial cerebellar hemisphere: distal extremity
what makes up cerebrocerebellum
lateral cerebellar hemisphere: integrative functions
what makes up the vestibulocerebellum
flocculonodular
what are the cerebellar nuclei
fastigial nucleus
interposed nuclei
dentate nucleus
where is fastigial nucleus and the function
vermis- spinocerebellum
balance and equilibrium
where is interposed nuclei and the function
medial hemisphere- spinocerebellum
extremity gross movement
where is dentate nucleus and the function
cerebrocerebellum
integrative functions
where is vestibular nuclei and the function
vestibulocerebellum
nodulus: vestibular
flocculus: eye movement
where does the vestibular nuclei receive its vestibular and eye movement projections from
medial longitudinal fasciculus
directly projects to vestibular nuclei and fastigial nucleus
what nerve fibers do the inf cerebellar peduncle have
afferent and efferent
conduit between spinal cord/brain stem and cerebellum
what nerve fibers do the middle cerebellar peduncle have
afferent
signals from pontine nuclei which are from neocortex
what nerve fibers do the sup cerebellar peduncle have
afferent and efferent
where do sup cerebellar peduncle efferent fibers project to
contralateral thalamus and midbrain
where do sup cerebellar peduncle afferent fibers project from
spinal cord and brain stem
what does the SCA supply in the cerebellum
anterior lobe
superior posterior lobe
what does the AICA supply in the cerebellum
middle/inferior posterior lobe
what does the PICA supply in the cerebellum
inferior posterior lobe
what is the folium
leaf like basic structural unit
long axis in transverse plane, side to side
