| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the sensory pathways? | Posterior column, spinothalamic, spinocerebellar |
| What is a first order neuron? | sends sensory info to CNS |
| What is a second order neuron? | an interneuron located in either the spinal cord or brain stem |
| what is a third order neuron? | carries information from the thalamus to the cerebral cortex |
| Where does fasciculus gracilis get sensory info from? | below diaphragm |
| where does fasciculus cuneatus get sensory info from? | above diaphragm |
| What does the posterior column sense? | fine-touch, vibration, pressure, and proprioception |
| What does anterior spinothalamic tract sense? | crude touch and pressure |
| what does lateral spinothalamic tract sense? | pain and temperature |
| what does spinocerebellar pathway sense? | proprioceptive input from golgi tendon organs, muscles spindle, and joint capsules |
| Which sensory pathway doesn't contain a third order neuron? | spinocerebellar pathway |
| Lateral corticospinal tracts control the _______ | fine, skilled voluntary movements |
| Anterior corticospinal tracts control _________ | muscles of trunk/proximal limbs, helping with posture and gross movements |
| Corticobulbar tracts control _________ | muscles in the face |
| Corticospinal tracts control _________ | muscles in the trunk and limbs |
| disorientation, restlessness, confusion, hallucination, agitation, alternating with other conscious states | delirium |
| progressive decline in spatial orientation, memory, behavior, and language | dementia |
| reduced awareness, easily distracted, easily startled by sensory stimuli, alternates between drowsiness and excitability; resembles minor form of delirium state | confusion |
| extreme drowsiness, but will respond to normally to stimuli | somnolence |
| conscious but unresponsive, no evidence of cortical function | chronic vegetative state |
| can be aroused by normal stimuli | asleep |
| can be aroused by extreme/repeated stimuli | stupor |
| cannot be aroused and does not respond to stimuli | coma |
