lesion stuff Flashcards
parasympathetic functions for GI tract, lungs, thoracic innervations
dorsal motor nuc of vagus
vertigo, imbalance, nystagmus
lesion to vestibular nuclei
impairments in taste, visceral sense from stretch and chemoreceptors in cardiovascular/respiratory/intestinal systems
lesion to solitary tract and nucleus
pain and temperature from ipsilateral face and head
spinal trigeminal nucleus/tract
ataxia definition
uncoordinated muscle movements
ataxia, dysmetria, and dysdiadokokinesia
lesion to inferior cerebellar peduncle
define dysmetria and dysdiadokokinesia
under/overshoot, and impaired ability to perform rapid, alternating movements
pain and temperature from contralateral side of body
ALS
unconscious proprioception from ipsilateral side of body
spinocerebellar tract
tongue deviation to ipsilateral side
lesion to hypoglossal nucleus/nerve
weak adduction (nasal movement) and abduction nystagmus of contralateral eye
lesion to medial longitudinal fasciculus at open medulla
fine touch, position, movement, from contralateral side of body
medial lemniscus
damage to CONTRALATERAL corticospinal tract upper motor neurons for contralateral side of body could be caused by lesions where? (3)
lesions to pyramid, cerebral peduncle, pyramidal tracts through pons
medial medullary syndrome, describe kind of paralysis
damage to medial open medulla. “crossed paralysis” because cranial nerve (above-neck) effects are ipsilateral to lesion, and spinal nerve (below-neck) effects are contralateral to lesion
impaired eye movement, strabismus, diplopia, ptosis (drooping eyelid), dilated pupil
lesion to ipsilateral oculomotor nerve
motor problems with contralateral limbs
lesion to red nucleus
parkinsons: muscular rigidity, resting tremor, akinesia, slowness of movement, postural instability
lesion to substantia nigra
where do descending motor tracts cross?
pyramidal decussation
what do the crossing fibers in lower pons form?
cerebellar peduncles
