Q

DESC THE FACILITATORY TRACT.

A

THE SINGAL IS FROM THE CEREBRAL CORTEX AND CEREBELLUM. THEN, THIS WILL STIMULATE THE FACILITATORY RETICULAR FORMATION.
FACILITATORY RETICULAR FORMATION WILL INCREASE THE GAMMA MOTOR. NEURON CAUSING THE
1. HYPERACTIVE STRETCH REFLEX
2. INCREASED MUSCLE TONE

Q

DESC THE INHIBITORY TRACT.

A

THE SINGAL IS FROM THE CEREBRAL CORTEX AND CEREBELLAR. THEN, IT WILL STIMULATE THE INHIBITORY RETICULAR FORMATION.
THEREBY, IT CAN LEAD TO LESS ACTIVE DURING THE STRETCH RECEPTOR AND DECREASED MUSCLE TONE.

Q

HYPOTONIA

A
  • ABNORMALLY LOW MUSCLE TONE
  • OTHER FEATURES: MUSCLE WEAKNESS, MUSCLE ATROPHY, DECREASE OR ABSENT STRETCH REFLEX.
  • USUALLY IN LMNL
  • THE RESISTANT TO PASSIVE STRETCH IS ALMOST NON EXISTANT.

Q

CAUSE OF HYPOTONIA

A
  1. DESTRUCTION OF FACILITATORY RETICULAR FORMATION
  2. STIMULATION OF INHIBITORY AREAS IN BRAIN
  3. DESTRUCTION OF AFFERENT OR EFFERENT PATHWAY IN STRETCH REFLEX
  4. DESTRUCTION OF CEREBELLUM

Q

HYPERTONIA.

A
  • INCREASE IN MUSCLE TONE
  • THE RESISTANT TO PASSIVE STRETCH IS HIGH
  • USUALLY OCCUR IN UMNL
  • INCREASE RELEASE OF A- MOTOR NEURON
  • THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF HYPERTONIA WHICH ARE RIGIDITY AND SPASTICITY.
    RIGIDITY WILL CAUSE BOTH GRP OF MUSCLES WHICH ARE EXTENSOR AND FLEXOR.
  • ITS RESISTANCE TO MOVEMENT IS CONSTANT
  • THE MUSCLE TONE IN RIGIDITY IS HIGH THROUGHOUT RANGE OF MOVEMENT
  • LEAD PIPE RIGIDITY PRESENCE
  • SPASTICITY IS ONE GRP OF MUSCLES (EITHER FLEXOR OR EXTENSOR)
  • AT FIRST THE RESISTANCE IS HIGH BUT LATER IT WILL BE REDUCED
  • CLASP KNIFE EFFECT PRESENCE

23
Q

STATOKINETIC REFLEX IS MAINTAINED BY

A

STABLE POSTURAL BACKGROUND FOR VOLUNTARY ACTIVITY

24
Q

FUNCTION OF VESTIBULAR APPARATUS

A

DEPOLARISATION

31
Q

WHEN STEREOCILIA BEND AWAY KINOCILIUM, IT INDICATES

A

36
Q

WHEN ENDOLYMPH IS PUSHED AWAY FROM THE CAPULA, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STEREOCILIA?

A

THE STEREOCILIA IS PUSHED AWAY FROM THE KINOCILIUM INDICATING HYPERPOLARISATION

37
Q

WHEN THE DIRECTION OF THE HEAD IS TO THE RIGHT, WHAT HAPPEN TO THE DIRECTION OF THE ENDOLYMPH?

A

THE ENDOLYMPH WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE LEFT (TOWARDS THE AMPULLE)

38
Q

WHEN THE ENDOLYMPH IS PUSHED TOWARDS THE CAPULA, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DIRECTION OF THE STEREOCILIA?

A

THE STEREOCILIA MOVE TOWARDS THE KINOCILIUM INDICATING DEPOLARISATION
