Neuro_Exam 1_Cerebellum

Question 1

Nuclei of Cerebellum:

Answer 1

Fastigial, interposed, dentate

Question 2

Dentate interacts with:

Answer 2

Thalamus and lateral descending pathway (skeletal muscle and conscious thought)

Question 3

interposed (globose and emboliform) interact with

Answer 3

also the lateral descending pathway (The interposed nucleus is responsible for coordinating agonist/antagonist muscle pairs, and therefore a lesion in this area causes tremor.)

Question 4

Fastigial nuclei interact with:

Answer 4

medial descending system and vestibular system (The rFN interprets body motion and places it on spatial planes to estimate the movement of the body through space.)

Question 5

dentate nuclei is made up of the ______, interposed nuclei are made up of ______, fastigial are made up of ________

Answer 5

cerebrocerebellum, paravemi, vermi
