Question
Answer
A continuation of the Brain Stem; Tubelike structure   Spinal Cord  
🗑
A hollow needle is inserted into the subarachnoid space, Between L3 & L4   Lumbar Puncture  
🗑
Composed primarily of cell bodies and interneurons   Grey Matter  
🗑
An opening, or hole, that extends the entire length of the spinal cord   Central Canal  
🗑
Composed primarily of the myelinted axons   White Matter  
🗑
Neuronal axons that are grouped together   Nerve Tract  
🗑
Carry information from the periphery, up the spinal cord, and toward the brain are called   Sensory Tract/Ascending Tracts  
🗑
It carries sensory information for touch, pressure, and pain from the spinal cord to the thalamus in the brain(controls-temp, pressure, pain, light motor)   Spinothalamic Tract  
🗑
Carries information from the brain, down the spinal cord and toward the periphery   Motor Tracts/Descending  
🗑
Major motor tract; motor information is carried from the cortical region(frontal lobe)of the brain toward the spinal cord(controls-skeletal muscle tone,voluntary muscle movement)   Pyramidal Tract/Corticospinal  
🗑
Functions are Proprioception; deep pressure; vibration   Dorsal Column  
🗑
Most nerve tracts cross over from one side to the other this is called   Decussation  
🗑
Fuctions-Propriception   Spinocerebeller  
🗑
Skeletal muscle activity; Balance and Posture   Extra Pyramidal  
🗑
If the spinal cord is severed at the neck region, the trunk and all four extremities are paralyzed. This condition is called   Quadriplegia  
🗑
Lower spinal cord injury, involving only the lumbar region of the spinal cord , the person has funn use of the upper extremities but is paralyzed from the waist down   Paraplegia  
🗑
Attached to the spinal cord, formed by dorsal and ventral roots   Spinal Nerves  
🗑
Sensory nerve fibers from the periphery travel to the cord through the   Dorsal Root  
🗑
The cell bodies of the sensory nerve fibers are gathered together in the   Dorsal Root Ganglia  
🗑
Composed of motor fibers; Distributed to the muscles and glands   Ventral Root  
🗑
The spinal cord serves three major functions   Sensory Pathway, Motor Pathway and Reflex Center  
🗑
An involuntary response to a stimulas is a   Reflex  
🗑
A nerve pathway involved in a reflex   Reflex Arc  
🗑
Sense of smell   Olfactory I  
🗑
Sense of Sight   Optic II  
🗑
Movement of the eyeball, Rasing eyelid, Change in pupil size   Oculomotor III  
🗑
Chewing food, sense in face, scalp, cornea, and teeth   Trigminal V  
🗑
Movement of the eyeball   Abducens VI  
🗑
Facial expressions, secreation of saliva and tears, taste, blinking, sense of hearing and balance   Facial VII  
🗑
Sense of hearing and balance   Vestibulocochlear VIII  
🗑
Swallowing, secreation of saliva, taste, sensory for the reflex requlation of BP, part of the gag reflex   Glossopharyngeal IX  
🗑
Visceral muscle movement and sensations, especially movement and secreation of the digestive system, sensory for reflex regulation of BP   Vagus X  
🗑
Movement of eyeball   Trochlear IV  
🗑
Swallowing, Head and sholder movement, Speaking   Accessory XII  
🗑
Speech and Swallowing   Hypoglossal XII  
🗑
Nerve fibers converging or coming together   Plexuses  
🗑
Supplies the muscles and skin of the neck   Cervical Plexus (C1-C4)  
🗑
Stimulates the contration of the diaphram   Pherenic Nerve  
🗑
Supply the muscles and skin if the shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist and hand   Brachial Plexus (C5-C8, T1)  
🗑
Gives rise to nerves that supply the muscles and skin if the lower abdominal wall external genitalia, buttocks, and lower extremities   Lumbosacral Plexus (T12, L1-L5,S1-S4)  
🗑
A spinal nerve that innervates a paticular area of the skin; this distrubution of nerves is called   Dermatome  
🗑
