Lecture 77 Flashcards
This neuron branches from ventral roots and its branches (motor unit)
LMN
The LMN uses _______ and bind to nicotinic receptors
Ach
This neuron uses a motor end plates (junction b/t nerve and muscles)
LMN
EXCITATION only which leads to contraction
LMN
If there is damage to a LMN _______ might occur?
Muscle deficits, paresis (muscle weakness), Atrophy, and paralysis
This neuron has pathways from cerebrum/brainstem and the spinal cord projects don to control this neuron.
UMN
UMN has _______ type of output?
Excitatory and inhibitory
if the LMN are damaged can we observe UMN damage?
NO
Frontal cortex of cerebrum plans, strategizes and provides impulse control
Cerebral motor control
Cerebral motor control: Primary motor area initiates
voluntary motor and movements
Cerebral motor control has output to?
Brainstem UMNs and Spinal cord LMNs
Cerebral motor control has association areas for complex integration planning and?
Analysis
T/F: All three descending motor tracts of the vertebral motor control are associated with the pyramidal tract
T
_______ are the three descending motor tracts of the cerebral motor control
Corticonuclear, Corticopontine and Corticospinal
This descending motor tract is associated with the brainstem nuclei and is ipsilateral
Corticonuclear
This descending motor tract is associated with pontine nuclei and contains pontocerebellar fibers to contralateral cerebellum
Corticopontine
This descending motor tract of cerebral motor control dessusates to contralateral lateral corticospinal tract and has a few fibers that stay ipsilateral in ventral corticospinal tract and decussate before termination
Corticospinal
Descending tracts are associated with?
Pyramidal tract
Descending tracts of corticospinal are in direct communication between ?
Cerebral cortex UMN and LMNs
Descending tracts of Corticospinal has _______ fine motor control, skilled movement
Voluntary
Brainstem upper motor neurons have _______ movements and are discriminatory
fine
Red nucleus, pontine, medullary reticular nuclei and vestibular nuclei
Brainstem UMN
