Q

Spinocerebellum

A

adjusts movements as they are occuring

  • corrective feedback to fine-tune motor skills

Lesion = gait is affected because loss of motor coordination

Q

cerebrocerebellum

A
  • planning movements
  • rapid alternating movements
  • fine dexterity (quickness)

Q

“wrong distance” can’t judge distance- movements “overshoot”, and then overcompensate

  • patient can’t touch finger to nose, heel to shin - leads to intention tremor
A

19
Q

fibers that carry general sensation (touch, pressure, pain, proprioception , temperature changes, tickle and vibration)

A

GSA (general somatic afferent)

20
Q

motor fibers to smooth muscle, glands, and viscera (INVOLUNTARY)

A

GVE (general visceral efferent)

21
Q

fibers that carry visceral sensation (stretch of organ wall, pain, chemical changes, temperature change)

A

GVA: General visceral afferent

22
Q

What is SVE?

A

Branchial Efferent/Special Visceral Efferent

motor fibers to skeletal, voluntary muscles that developed from branchial (pharyngeal) arches

23
Q

SVA: Special Visceral Afferent for

A

taste and smell

24
Q

SSA: Special somatic afferent for:

A

vision, hearing and balance

25
Q

Exception for C.N. IV

A

The trochlear nucleus sends innervation to the contralateral superior oblique muscle rather than the ipsilateral muscle

26
Q

Exception for C.N. VII

A

The lower part of the facial motor nucleus that innervates the lower face muscles receives ONLY contralateral innervation from the cortex rather than bilateral

27
Q

Exception for C.N. XII

A

Those neurons in the hypoglossal nucleus that innervate the genioglossus muscle receive contralateral innervation from the cortex rather than bilateral

28
Q

Ptosis

A

droopy upper eyelid

29
Q

Mydriasis

A

permanent dilation of pupil

30
Q

strabismus

A

lazy eye
- eye position is down and out
- due unopposed action of superior oblique and abducens muscle

31
Q

Diplopia

A

double vision

32

A

V3 of V

VII - facial nerve

IX

X superior laryngeal nerve

X recurrently laryngeal nerve

39
Q

Spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve

A

40
Q

The chief or principal nucleus or main sensory nucleus of trigeminal

A

discriminative sensation and light touch as well as conscious proprioception

41

what does Neuralgia mainly affect?

A

V2 and V3
- seen in men and women over 50

Aggravated by:
- exposure to cold
- chewing
