Question
Answer
motor system   pyramidal, extrapyramidal and cerebellar systems  
🗑
pyramidal system   voluntary system  
🗑
extrapyramidal system   made up of basal ganglia, resposible for automatic execution of learned motor plans  
🗑
cerebellar system   balance and coordination  
🗑
tracts of the pyramidal system   corticospinal tract, cortibulbar tract, coricopontine  
🗑
corticobulbar tract   sends movement to the cranial nerves through the medulla  
🗑
corticospinal tract   from the cortex to the spinal nerves  
🗑
corticopontine tract   goes through the cerebellum  
🗑
extrapyramidal system   subserviant system keeps tone in muscles  
🗑
direct activation system   pyramidal system  
🗑
indirect activation system   extrapyramidal system  
🗑
dyskenisia   too much movement  
🗑
akenisia   not enough movement  
🗑
lesions of the basal ganglia   cause dyskenisia or akenisia  
🗑
nuclia of extrapyramidal system   basal ganglia  
🗑
Parkinsons   problem with basal ganglia  
🗑
tremor   oscillating movement 3-7 movements per second  
🗑
physiologic tremor   a fine tremor that happens while doing an action, a spasm  
🗑
chorea   quick, random movement, fidgets  
🗑
athetosis   slow writhing or squirming movement  
🗑
dystonia   odd posture or movement then held spastic  
🗑
myoclonus   abrupt brief almost lightening like contraction of muscle  
🗑
orafacial dyskeniesia   grimacing of the face, bizarre movements  
🗑
provides smooth coordination of muscle movements for speech   cerebellar system  
🗑
ataxia   not coordinated  
🗑
asynergy   lack of coordination with any movement  
🗑
decomposition of movement   breaks complex movement into parts  
🗑
dysmetria   inability to gauge speed, distance and power of a movement  
🗑
adiochokinesia, dysdiachokensia   inability to perform rapid movements  
🗑
rebound   inability to control contraction of the flexors and extensors  
🗑
hypotonia   muscle flaccidty  
🗑
tremor (cerebellar system)   a tremor during an intentional movement not present when at rest  
🗑
nystagmus   oscillatory abnormalities of the pupils  
🗑
muscle stretch reflexes   pendular reflexes  
🗑
ataxic dysarthria   lack of coordination and balance in speech.  
🗑
central nervous system lesions above the pyramidal decussaton   produce weakness and inccordination contralateral to the lesion  
🗑
central nervous system lesions below the pyramidal decussation   produce weakness and incoordination ipsilateral to the lesion  
🗑
basal ganglia consist of   caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, sustantia nigra pars reticulata, subthalamic nucleus, sustantia nigra pars compacta  
🗑
hyponomia   masking of face (parkinsons)  
🗑
cause of parkinsons   premature death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta  
🗑


   

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.
