Week 13 Flashcards
What is the vestibular system divided into?
What is the purpose of the vestibular system?
What would this type of information be used for?
postural control
Label
Approximately how big is the vestibular system?
What is the tipping angle of the labyrinth?
What is the orientation angle of the superior and posterior canals?
Label
Label and explain the layers
Label
Label
Label
what are the hair cells? How do they move?
What are the canal pairs?
In a canal pair, what does excitation of one lead to?
Label which canal is responsible for each?
Explain the effects at rest vs in right acceleration
What is the resting discharge rate of both vestibular nerves? If head turns right, what happens to the discharge rate of the right and left vestibular nerves?
What are otoliths?
Label
What happens to otoliths when the head is bent forward?
Label and explain what direction it would go to depending on the motion
What is the innervation of the vestibular system?
Label
What is the responsibility of the vestibular nuclei complex?
What are the components of the vestibular nuclei complex?
What is the role of LVST?
Explain LVST pathway
What is the role of MVST?
Explain MVST pathway
What is the function of the ascending portion of MLF?
Other than LVST and MVST, what are some other vital pathways?
vestibulo-thalamo-cortical
Vestibulo-autonomic
Vestibulo-cerebellar
Explain the vestibulo-thalamo-cortical pathway
Explain vestibulo-autonomic pathway
Explain the vestibulo-cerebellar pathway
Label
Label
Explain the vestibulo-ocular reflex
Head turn to the left: label and explain active eye muscle, cranial nerves, and the effect on VOR
What is the canal stimulated, 1st and 2nd synapses, and muscles activated for Horizontal VOR?
If the head turns to the right and the eyes to the left, which eye muscle is inhibited?
Explain vertical VOR
What is the canal stimulated, 1st and 2nd synapses, and muscles activated for Vertical VOR (head up, down)?
What can cancel VOR?
What is the normal value for VOR?
Explain the vestibulo-spinal reflex
Explain central processing of vestibular input
What happens when the vestibular system is affected?
Where can deficits in the vestibular system arise?
What kind of deficits can arise due to vestibular issues?
Explain dizziness
What can PT check to understand if the symptoms display vertigo?
Explain dysequilibrium
Explain nystagmus and its types
What are the characteristics of peripheral nystagmus?
Label and highlight the issue
List and explain peripheral vestibular disorders
Explain central nystagmus
List and explain central vestibular disorders
What can cause central vestibular disorders?
Compare nystagmus, oculomotor, and other signs for central vs peripheral vestibular issues
