w 6 and w 7 Flashcards
what movements rely on an upper and motor neuron?
voluntary
which motor pathway controls voluntary movement?
pyramidal (direct)
which motor pathway controls involuntary movement?
extrapyramidal (indirect)
how many neurons are involved in the voluntary movement of skeletal muscle?
2 UMN and LMN
how many tracts are involved in voluntary motor control?
2 anterior and lateral tracts
where does the UMN in corticospinal tract originate?
cerebral cortex
what does the corticospinal tract provide?
voluntary motor function
what are the three main locations axons leave the cortex in the corticospinal tract?
premotor cortex
primary motor cortex
supplementary motor cortex
(some leave sensory cortex)
where does the corticospinal tract travel through after cortex?
corona radiata - cerebral white mater
then decends through internal capsule (posterior limb)
then through cerebral crus
then brain stem into spinal cord
where do the majority of sorticospinal fibres cross to form lateral tract?
medulla
what forms the lateral tract of corticospinal pathway?
crossing of fibres at pyramids in medulla
what forms the anterior tract of corticospinal pathway?
the uncrossed fibres
where does the UMN of corticospinal tract synapse with the LMN?
ventral horn of spinal cord
where does crossing of the lateral corticospinal tract take place?
medulla
where does crossing of anterior corticospinal tract take place?
spinal cord
A lesion affecting corticospinal fibres in the left side of the ventral pons impairs voluntary movement of the arm and the leg on which side?
RIGHT SIDE (contralateral) Hemiplegia or Paresis
A lesion affecting the cervical spinal cord on the left side impairs voluntary movement of the limbs on which side?
LEFT SIDE (ipsilateral) Hemiplegia or Paresis
give an example of an UMN lesion of cortico spinal tract
stroke
signs of stroke
spastic paralysis
no muscle atrophy
hyperflexia
hypertonia
give an example of a LMN lesion of corticospinal tract
trauma or poliomyelitis
what are signs of LMN lesion
flaccid paralysis
significant muscle atrophy
hyporeflexia
hypotonia
what supplies sensory innervation to the face?
CNV
great auricular from C2-C3 supplies angle of mandible
what branch of trigeminal supplies sensory innervation to the auriculotemporal area?
CNV3
what nerves supply the scalp?
C2 and C3
