Review Info Flashcards
What is the dorsal column of the SC responsible for
proprioception, 2 point discrimination, and vibration
What is the lateral column of the SC responsible for
voluntary motor
What is the ventral column of the SC responsible for
pain and temperature
terminates in the brainstem and innervates cranial nerves bilaterally
corticobulbar tract
10-15% of axons. Do not cross in medulla and go bilaterally
Anterior corticospinal
85-90% of axons that project from motor cortex to SC.
Lateral corticospinal
where does the lateral corticospinal tract cross
medulla
extrapyrmidal tract that tells us where we are in space
vestibulospinal
extrapyramidal tract that helps us move body in response to sudden changes in movement
tectospinal
extrapyramidal tract that gives muscle tone
rubrospinal
what does the spinothalamic tract give us
crude touch, pressure, pain, and temp
what does the medial leminiscal tract give us
touch, vibration, and propriocpetion
gives us unconscious proprioceptive information
spinocerebellar tract
where does the medial lemniscal tract cross
medulla
where do the spinothalamic tract cross
in the spinal cord
lesion in which one side of the SC is damaged
Brown Sequard
Deficits seen with a Brown Sequard Lesion
- IL loss of propriocpetion, vibration, and 2 point discrimination
- IL spasticity
- IL motor paralysis
- CL loss of pain and temp
Deficits seen with anterior cord syndrome
-Bilateral loss of motor function and pain/temp sensitivity
Deficits seen with central cord syndrome
Mild case would give UE paralysis/sensory loss with normal functioning of thoraco, lumbar, and sacral cord
—> usually just UE sx unless it extends further out from the center
Hemisphere of brain responsible for: visual spatial awareness, visual memory, attention, creativity and music perception, and left sided motor control
Rt hemisphere
Hemisphere of brain responsible for: language, sequencing, mood, memory, logic, and control of right body movements
Left hemisphere
Blood supply to frontal lobe
MCA, ACA (MCA more superficial and ACA is deeper)
Which lobe is Broca’s area in
frontal lobe
which area of brain is damaged if individual has difficulties with: attention and concentration, self-monitoring, organization, awareness of abilities and limitations, mental flexibility, inhibition of behavior, emotions, problem solving, and judgement
prefrontal area
