Module 2 Flashcards
If a If its ascending, its entering dorsal root ganglions
Dorsal root ganglions
Where are unipolar Neurons located?
Outside the brain and SC
Where are Bipolar Neurons located?
Ear, Eye, Nose
Where are Multipolar Neurons located?
Brain and SC
What type of neuron is a sensory neuron?
Uni and Bipolar
What type of neuron is a interneuron neuron?
Multipolar
What type of neuron is a Motor neuron?
Multipolar
What is the Motor neuron Hiearchy
1st Order = Precentral Gyrus
2nd Order = Brain Stem
3rd Order - ventral horn of spinal cord
The anteriorspinothalamic tract is respoinsible for what sensation, and where does it deccusate?
Crude touch, pressure and Posterior gret horn at the level it enters
What type of receptors are Exteroceptors?
Skin, Responses to external stimulus, Pain, Temp, pressure
What type of receptors are Interoceptors ??
Internal viscera, Simuls in internal viscera, Chemical changes, tissue stretches (Hungry, and then the body will react)
What type of receptors are Proprioceptors?
SKM, Tendons, Joints, Ligaments, Connective tissue Functions to relay info of joint positions (GTO, spindles)
In the ascending pathways, what are the first order neurons?
Conduct impulses from cutaneous receptors, and proprioceptors; transmit to the spinal cord or brain stem
First order neurons cell bodies are where?
Ganglion (Dorsal Root or Cranial)
In the ascending pathways, what are the second order neurons?
Tramsit impulses to the thalamus or cerebellum
Where are the second order neurons located?
Dorsal Horn of the spinal cord or meduallary Neuclei dorsal column nuclei
In the ascending pathways, what are the third order neurons?
Relay impulses to the somatosensory cortex of the cerebrum
Where are the third order neurons located?
Thalamus
Motor Neuron Hierarchy states these three are the most important.
Precentral Gyrus
Brain Stem
Ventral horn of the Spinal Cord
What are the 3 Levels of Motor Control Precommand?
Precommand ( Highest)
Projection Level (Middle)
Segmental (Lowest)
The precomand level of motor control is what level, and what is included in this category? (What structures are included)
- Highest
- Cerebellum and basal Nuclei
- Programs and instrictions
The projection level of motor control is what level, and what is included in this category? (What structures are included)
- Middle
- Motor cortex , and brain stem
- Conveys instructions to spinal cord motor neurons and sends a copy of the info to higher centers
The Segmental level of motor control is what level, and what is included in this category? (What structures are included)
- Lowest
- Spinal Cord
- Contains Central pattern generators (CPGs)
What is the body doing during Decorticate Rigidity
Feet- Planter flexed
CF- Internally rotated
Elbows - Flexed
Humerus - Adducted
Hands - Flexed
What is the body doing during Decerebrate Rigidity
Feet- Planter flexed
Elbows - Extended
Humerus - Adducted
Hands - Flexed
Forearm -Supinated
Crude touch, Damaging temperature(S), and pain is seen more as?
Dangerous and therefore more important
Spinocerebellar tracts carry what? To where?
Unconcious proprioceptive iunformation from the muscle spindles, GTO,to cerebellum?
Spinocerebellar tracts terminate on what side?
Same side
Stretching of the muscle spindles triggers the activation of ??
Type Ia afferent impulses Monosynaptic reflex
What creates Autogenic inhibition?
GTO’s
