Neuroanatomy Flashcards
what spinal level is biceps reflex?
C5/C6
what sensory signals are carried by the spinothalamic tract?
pain and temperature
what sensory signals are carried by the posterior columns?
vibration and proprioception
what sensory signals are carried by the posterior columns?
vibration and proprioception
Give 5 upper motor neurone signs
tone increased little atrophy (diffuse) brisk tendon reflexes ankle clonus extensor plantar response
Give 3 Lower motor neurone signs
Muscle Wasting
Fasciculation
Reduced tone
absent reflexes
fasciculations are only pathological if there is associated muscle wasting
