damage to cerebellum that results in inability to perform rapid alternating muscle movements

63
Q

A

damage to cerebellum that results in general incoordination of motor acts

64
Q

A

damage to cerebellum that results in person will break a complex motor act into its components and execute the act movement by movement

65
Q

A

damage to cerebellum that results in inability to gauge the distance, speed, and power of movements–leads to overshooting

nystagumus

A

damage to cerebellum that results in rhythmic oscillatory abnormalities of the pupil of the eye

69
Q

hypotonia or flaccid paralysis

A

damage to the final common pathway results in lesions in the CN or peripheral nerves, neural impulses will not be transmitted to the muscles; this is called denervation; result is muscles become soft and flabby because of loss of muscle tone

Q

fasciculations

A

damage to the final common pathway results in brief localized twitches occurs from excess or spontaneous motor unit discharges

73
Q

fibrillation

A

damage to the final common pathway results in muscles that are deprived of LMN input will generate slow, repetitive action potentials and contact regularly
