Question
Answer
Cranial Nerves 1 - 6 = ?   * 1 = Olfactory.... *2 = Optic.... *3 = Occulomotor..... *4 = Trochlear... *5 = Trigeminal..... * 6 = Abducent  
🗑
Cranial Nerves 7 - 12 = ?   *7 = Facial.... * 8 = Vestibulochlear..... *9 = Glossopharyngeal ..... * 10 = Vagus.... * 11 = Spinal Accessory .... * 12 = Hypoglossal  
🗑
Gray matter basics ?   * contains motor information and is divvied up in to Dorsal and Ventral gray matter  
🗑
Somatosensory pathway basics ?   * concerned with conveying information regarding specific sensory modalities ultimately to cerebral cortex for conscious perception  
🗑
The Ascending Spinal Pathways ?   * Dorsal column/ medial lemniscus pathway and The Anterior Lateral System (ALS)  
🗑
Dorsal column/ medial lemniscus does what = ?   * Carries information concerned with fine touch, proprioception, vibration  
🗑
Dorsal column/ medial lemniscus pathway ?   * 1st Order Neuron = DRG takes the sensory information to the nucleus cutaneous or the nucleus gracilis (2nd order neurons).... * from there, the signal crosses and goes to the VPL (3rd order neuron ) to the somatosensory cortex  
🗑
Fasciculus gracilis = ?   * contains long ascending branches of fibers from sacral, lumbar and lower 6 thoracic dorsal roots. .... * LOWER EXTREMITIES  
🗑
Fasciculus cuneatus = ?   * from T7 and up.... * UPPER EXTRMITIES  
🗑
Anterior Lateral Pathway = ?   * Conducts pain, temperature, and crude touch information  
🗑
ALS neurons = ?   * First order neuron- DRG neurons (A and C fibers)..... * Second order neuron- neuron in dorsal horn to VPL...... * Third order neuron- VPL to somatosensory cortex  
🗑
ALS Pathway = ?   * 1st order neuron = input to the DRG, where it splits to go to the Laminae (I , II, V)(2nd order neuron), where it crosses to go to go up the Lateral Spinothalmic Tract to the VPL (3rd neuron) to go to the somatosensory cortex  
🗑
Ascending/Somatosensory Cranial Pathway basics = ?   * are concerned with conveying information regarding specific sensory modalities ultimately to cerebral cortex for conscious perception.... * Consists of trigeminal pathways for fine touch and vibration, as well as a pathway for pain and temp  
🗑
Orofacial Fine Touch and Vibration Pathway = ?   * primary sensory ganglion --> pons to synapse on to the Chief Nucleus on the Ips. --> the 2nd order neuron allows it to pass through the brainstem and synapse on the VPM. ..* #rd order neuron goes from VPM to the somatosensory cortex  
🗑
Orofacial Pain and Temperature Pathway = ?   * primary sensory ganglion --> trigem. nucleus --> and projects into the brainstem where it synapses in the spinal trigeminal nucleus on the ips. side --> 2ndary neuron goes contralat. and to the VPM--> somatosensory cortex  
🗑
Neuro of Vision = ?   * Each optic tract carries information from the lateral ipsilateral retina and the medial contralateral retina.... * basically, each carries info from the contralt. visual field  
🗑
CORTICOBULBOSPINAL TRACT = ?   * a two neuron white matter motor pathway connecting the cerebral cortex to the brainstem primarily involved in carrying the motor function of the non-occulomotor cranial nerves.  
🗑
Lateral corticospinal tract = ?   * movement of extremities ....... * This is the most clinically important descending motor pathway.  
🗑
Anterior corticospinal tract = ?   * movement of axial muscles  
🗑
Basal Ganglia basics = ?   * They provide the crucial physiological link between the idea of movement and the motor expression of that idea  
🗑
DIRECT PATHWAY = ?   * cerebral cortex --> neostriatum (caudate and putamen) --> Glob. Pallidus (medial) --> activation of the direct pathway is increased output from the thalamus with a resultant increase in activation of the motor regions of the cerebral cortex.  
🗑
INDIRECT PATHWAY = ?   * when the indirect basal ganglia pathway is activated, the result is decreased activity of the thalamus and therefore decreased activity of the motor regions of cerebral cortex  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
