Pathways and Autonomic Nervous System Flashcards
Within white matter, what is the area between the central canal and the dorsal horn?
posterior funiculus
Within white matter, what is the large area between the dorsal and ventral horns?
lateral funiculus
Within white matter, what is the area below the ventral horns?
anterior funiculus
What is the name of the pathway for precise touch from the skin?
posterior funiculus- medial lemniscal pathway
What would happen if you caused damage to the posterior funiculus?
numbness of the same side of the body below the injury site
What would happen if you caused damage to the medial lemniscus?
loss of sensation from the neck down on the opposite side of the body
In the skin pathway, the touch from the skin goes from the ___ _____ to the _____ ___ _____
medulla oblongata, post central gyrus
In the skin pathway, the ____ _____ ascend in the __ _____
central processes, posterior funiculus
In the skin pathway, precise touch from the skin crosses sides of the body in what structure?

What is the name of the pathway from the cortex to the spinal cord?
corticospinal pathway
What would result from damage to the lateral funiculus?
loss of 85% of strength of muscles of the same side of the body from point of injury down
What would result from damage at the anterior funiculus?
loss of 15% of strength of muscles on the opposite side of the body from point of injury down
