55
Q

sensory comes in the ____ and motor goes out the___

corticospinal, reticulospinal, rubrospinal, vestibulospinal

57
Q

so if the tract says spinal it’s a ___ tract

A

spinal is motor (Al’s motors)

spino is sensory

58
Q

corticospinAL tract is what kind and is responsible for what

A

Al = motor
voluntary movments, skilled movements
ant corticospinal-ipsi
post is contra

59
Q

damage to corticospinal tracts can result in what common neuro test being pos

A

babinskis

60
Q

reticulospinAL

A

al-motor

facilitation of voluntary movement

61
Q

what is brown sequard syndrome

A

hemisection or incomplete lesion of the spinal cord, usually by a stabbing, IPSILATERAL symptoms

62
Q

sensory nerves of PNS originate where

A

dorsal root ganglion

63
Q

motor nerves of PNS originate where

A

anterior horn (shorter)

64

have them look up, down and in

69

anterior horn of spinal cord (efferent arc)

80
Q

if pt has a deficit with a tendon reflex and exhibits sensory symptoms but not paralysis or motor output (atrophy) where is the lesion

A

afferent part of arc, dorsal horn

81

superficial - light touch
deep- pressure and vibration
cortical- 2 pt discrimiation

82
Q

what is barognosis

A

trying to assess wt of objects and compare in your hand

83
Q

writing a number or drawing on the skin and having the pt guess it is called

A

graphesthesia
