Q

CAUDAL portion of the spinal trigem nucleus in the medulla is related to pain, temp, touch from the head via the

A

trigem nerve

and from the external autidotry meatus via 7, 9, and 10

24
Q

course of the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve?

pain, temp, touch, enters caudal medulla –>

A

travels as the spinal tract of trigem -->

synapse in spinal trigem nucleus –> crosses –>

terminates in the reticular formation –> other targets like the thalamus

terminates in the reticular formation –> other targets like the thalamus

25
Q

X of spinal trigeminal tract or nucleus results in loss of ____

A

pain, touch, temp from the head on the same side

26
Q

what makes up the spinal portion of the accessory cranial nerve?

A
  1. axons from the acessory nucleus in the medulla and 2. axons from upper cervical segments in the spinal cord
27
Q

Damage to the VENTRAL medulla rostral to the pyramidal decussation will result in motor loss on the _____ side of the body.

A

opposite

28
Q

Corticobulbar axons from neocortex terminate on ____

A

cranieal nerve axons in the medulla

29
Q

The bulk of cortibobulbar axons control cranial nerve nuclei on the____ the origin of these axons in the cortex

A

opposite side *except for the hypoglossal nerve

30
Q

damage to the corticobulbar tracts will have ____ effects on cranial nerves

A

contralateral * except for hypoglossal

31
Q

As dorsal column axons of the gracile/cuneate fasciculus terminate in the gracile/cuneate nucleus —>

A

the nucleus fills this dorsomedial region.

32
Q

neck to foot somatosensory information is mapped from ____ within the medial lemniscus

A

dorsal to ventral

33
Q

Damage to the medial lemniscus results in epicritic deficits on the ____ side of the body

A

opposite

34
Q

when does somatosensory ifnormation from the face (trigeminothlaamic axons) join the medial lemniscus?

A

not until the pons

35
Q

what do you also see with damage to the ALS tract in the medulla? (as with PICA infarct)

  3. vestibular sx – vestibular area near by
36
Q

with PICA stroke, on what side do you see pain and temp loss?
