Lecture 9 Flashcards
what is motor equivalence
muscle action that is more abstract rather than one that is completed by a prescribed set of muscle activation…
can write name with hand, foot, teeth
main fn of ventromedial pathways
posture + balance
main fn of lateral pathways
skilled/fine movements
which pathway does NOT have subcortical origins (and where does it originate from)?
corticospinals
motor cortex
medial vestibulospinals project?
bilaterally
lateral vestibulospinals project?
ipsilaterally
reflexes of vestibulospinal
VCR
VOR
VSR
type of projections from reticulospinal
bilateral
which pathway is involved in postural adjustments for anticipated movements
reticulospinal
which system involved in postural adjustments for UNanticipated movements
vesitbuliar
proprioceptors
what does medial reticulospinal
excite?/excited by?
inhibit?/inhibited by?
excite: extensors + flexors
inhibited by: higher centers
what does lateral reticulospinal
excite?/excited by?
inhibit?/inhibited by?
excite: upper flexors
inhibit: ALL extensors
excited by: higher centers
colliculospinals travel in which direction to the cervical cord
