26
Q
A

27
Q
A

rubrospinal tract

29
Q
A

Motor nucleus of trigem

supplied by AICA

function: somatosensory for head and neck and motor jaw muscles
pathology: numbness in head and neck on SAME SIDE

weakened chewing

sensory loss elsiminating corneal reflexing -> irritated cornea

30
Q
A

principal sensory of trigem.

function: epicritic from head and neck
pathology: reduced 2 point tactile, fibration, position sense on SAME SIDE of head

31
Q
A

CN 5: Trigem

function: somatosensory for head and neck, motor for jaw
pathology: numbness in head and neck on the same side, weakened chewing, sensory loss eliminates corneal reflex resulting in irritated cornea

32
Q
A

lateral lemniscus

function: hearing
pathology: no obvious pathology (from unilateral X)

33
Q
A

Superior olive

function: hearing, particularly in locating the source of sound

pathology:

unilateral - nothing, due to bilaterality of auditory pathway

34
Q
A

Decussation of the trapezoid body

function: 1. somatosensory for trunk and limbs (medial lemniscus)
2. autditory: crossing lateral lemniscus fibers

pathology:

  1. loss of epicritic sense for trunk and limbs
  2. no obvious hearing loss
35
Q
A

Locus Ceruleus

function: main source of Norepeinphrine, motor control and sleep; adjusts muscle tone during rem

Pathology: prevents collapse of tone during REM (in cats…), implicated in parinksonism

36
Q
A

Medial longitduinal fasiculus

function: coordinates head and eye position
pathology: itnernuclear opthalmoplegia; contralateral eye cannot adduct for conjugate gaze shift but can adduct during convergence

37
Q
A

pontine nuclei

38
Q
A

Medial longitudinal fasciculus

function: coordinates head and eye position
pathology: contralateral eye cannot adduct for conjugate gaze shift, can adduct during convergence

39
Q
A

locus ceruleus

function: main source of norepeinhrpine; motor control and sleep; adjusts muscle tone during REM
pathology: implicated in parinksoniasm, prevents collapse of tone during REM sleep

40
Q
A

superior cerebellar peduncle

pathology: cerebellar signs: ataxia, intention tremor
connections: o carries most of cerebellums output to other parts of the brain

• main ouput:
 areas of pontine reticular formation
 red nucleus in the midbrain
 ventral anterior and ventral alteral nucleus in the thalamus -> precentral gyrus and premotor cortex

41
Q
A

medial lemniscus

function: epicritic somatosensory for trunks and limbs on OPPOSITE SIDE
pathology: loss of 2 point, vibration, position sense, asterogonosis, shuffling gait etc.

42
Q
A

crus cerebri

function:

cortical control of movement and some descending gating of sensory signals

pathology: 1. loss of indepdent finger movement
2. slowed rxn times
3. slight weakness

43
Q
A

lateral lemniscus

function: hearing
pathology: no obvious sx from unilateral X

44
Q
A

Corticospinal tract

function: motor contorl from cortex to motor neurons of CN and ventral horn

isolated pathology: loss of indepdent finger control, slowed rxn times

45
Q
A

facial nculeus

46
Q
A

superior cerebellar peduncle

47
Q
A

dentate nucleus

48
Q
A

inferior cerebellar peduncle

49
Q
A

middle cerebellar peduncle
