21
Q

In the lateral surface, caudal to the obex, fibers of the spinal trigeminal nucleus and tract assume a superficial location and form the

A

Trigeminal tubercle (tuberculum cinereum)

22
Q

progressively enlarging body external to the trigeminal fibers rostral to the obex

A

restiform body

23
Q

posteior medulla caudal to obex is characterized by

A

gracile
cuneata
respective tubercles

24
Q

prominent elevation on the posterolateral aspect of the medulla

A

restiform body

25
restiform body progressively becomes larger as it goes toward
ponsmedulla junction
26
restiform body joins with what in the pons
juxtarestiform body
27
exception in the blood supply from verebral arteries
choroid plexus that extends out of the uschka and adjacent cochlear nuclei
28
blood supply of the are not supplied by vertebral arteries
anterior inferior cerebellary artery (from basilar)
29
in general, medial medulla is served by (blood supply)
anterior spinal artery
30
in general, anterolateral medulla is served by (blood supply)
vertbera; artery
31
in general, posterolateral medulla is served by (blood supply)
posterior inferior cerbellar artery (PICA)
32
lesion in anterior spinal artery causes somatosensory and motor deficit reflecting damage where
medial lemniscus hypogloss root corticospinal fibers in pyrmaids
33
lesions in PICA will damage
anterolateral system | spinal trigeminal tract and nucleus
34
tracs that convey pain and temperature inputts to more rostral levels
spinomesencephalic | spinothalamic fibers
35
ascending tracts in the medulle are continuations of what from the spinal cord gray matter
anterlateral system | posterior and antrior spinocerebellar tracts
36
ascending tracts in the medulla are cotinuation of what from the posterior root ganglion cells
gracile | cuneate fasciculi
37
tactile and vibratory information carried by posterior column fibers continue rostrally via what
medial lemniscus
38
spinocerebellar axons enter the cerebellum through _____ (posterior) or ___(anterior)
restiform | superior cerebellar peduncle
39
The descending tracts that originate from the cerebral cortex are what
corticospinal
40
The descending tracts that originate from themidbrain are what
reticulospinal | vestibulospinal
41
The spinal cord–medulla transition is characterized by changes that begin at the caudal level of the
motor decussation
42
at the level of the motor decussation (pyramidal decussation), about 90% of corticospinal fibers cross the anterior midline to form the contralateral
lateral corticospinal tract
43
Internal to the spinal trigeminal tract
spinal trigeminal nucleus | pars caudalis
44
laterally, the spinal trigeminal tract is visible on the surface of the medulla as the
trigeminal tubercle | tuberculum cinereum
45
anterior medulla contains the most rostral part of the
``` accessory nucleus (cranial nerve XI) remnants of the medial motor cell column of C1 medial longitudinal fasciculus and tectobulbospinal syste ```
46
accessory nucleus (cranial nerve XI), remnants of the medial motor cell column of C1, and the medial longitudinal fasciculus and tectobulbospinal syste
hypoglossal (XII) and dorsal motor vagal (X) nuclei
47
it is the point at which a major ascending sensory pathway (posterior
sensory decussation
