Spinocerebellar

Question 1

Is this a sensory or motor tract?

Answer 1

Sensory

Question 2

How many order neurons has the spinocerebellar tract?

Answer 2

Two

Question 3

Is it unconscious or conscious pathway?

Answer 3

Unconscious because the pathway terminates at the cerebellum

Question 4

What is this anterior and posterior tracts function?

Answer 4

Co-ordinating muscle movement. Anterior - Future Movements Posterior - Fine movements that have just happened

Question 5

What is the pathway of the Anterior spinocerebellar tract?

Answer 5

Primary neuron synapses at the Intermediate grey laminae V-VII in the dorsal horn Decusattes at the spinal cord –> travels contralaterally leaving the Superior cerebellar peduncle Travels across the midline in the cerebellum to arrive in the cerebellar cortex ipsilaterally

Question 6

What is the pathway of the Posterior Spinocerebellar tract?

Answer 6

primary neuron synapses at the nucleus dorsalis of Clarke. 2nd order neurons ascend ipsilaterally to the inferior cerebellar peduncle in the medulla and terminate ipsilaterally in the cerebellar vermis of the anterior lobe

Question 7

How is proprioception innervation detected?

Answer 7

Through Muscle spindles or Golgi tendons or joint capsules
