Question
Answer
Fasiculus Gracilis or Gracile Tubercle   Ipsilateral loss of deep sensibility from lower body - T6 and down (proprio for lower body is spinocerebellar)  
🗑
Fasiculus Cuneatus or Cuneate Tubercle   Ipsilateral loss of deep sensibility and PROPRIOCEPTION from upper body - T6 and up  
🗑
Pyramid   Contralateral spastic paralysis  
🗑
Lateral Corticospinal Tract   Ipsilateral spastic paralysis  
🗑
Pyramidal DECUSSATION   BILATERAL spastic paralysis  
🗑
Inferior olivary nucleus   Ataxia  
🗑
Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle   Ipsilateral ataxia  
🗑
Middle Cerebellar Peduncle   Ataxia, Dysmetria  
🗑
Superior Cerebellar Peduncle   Ataxia, Dysdiadochokinesia  
🗑
Dentate means   Dysdiadochokinesia  
🗑
CN I Olfactory   loss of smell  
🗑
CN II Optic   loss of sight  
🗑
CN III Oculomotor   Diplopia (double vision), Mydriasis (pupils always dialated, it's always midday with mydriasis), ptosis (droopy LOWER eyelid), lateral strabismus and all eye muscles except LR6 & SO4)  
🗑
CN IV Trochlear   SCONTRALATERAL -crosses at superior medullary velum. SO4 means superior oblique function so inability to look down and in  
🗑
CN V Trigeminal   Mesencephalic nucleus, Motor nucleus to mastication, Chief Sensory nucleus, Nucleus of spinal tract: inability to chew, facial anesthesia, tic douloureaux (trigeminal neuralgia)  
🗑
CN VI Abducent   LR6 is lateral rectus so medial strabismus and ciliaris muscles?  
🗑
CN VII Facial   Bell's Palsy (LMN so ipsilateral 1/2 of face: all facial expression, cannot raise eybrows, deviation of smile to stronger side- Horner's syndrome) Facial uses Superior Salivatory Nucleus, Facial Nucleus, Solitary Nucleus.  
🗑
CN VIII Vestibulocochlear   vertigo, vomiting, nystagmus (vertical lines), loss of hearing  
🗑
CN IX Glossopharyngeal nuclei   Inferior Salivatory Nucleus: glands, Nucleus Ambiguus: parasym to muscles of larynx, pharynx and palate Solitary Nucleus: taste to posterior 1/3 of tongue  
🗑
CN IX Glossopharyngeal   Dysphonia, dysphagia (stylopharyngeus), loss of taste to posterior tongue  
🗑
CN VIII Vestibulocochlear nuclie   4 vestibular nuclei, cochlear nuclei  
🗑
CN X Vagus nuclei   Nucleus Acumbens 9-11 for parasymp muscles to larynx, pharynx, and palate + vagal nucleus + Solitary Nucleus (7.9.10)  
🗑
CN X Vagus   loss of parasympathetics to thoracic and abdominal viscera, dysphonia, dysphagia, reduced gag reflex, uvula deviation to strong side, loss of taste to posterior 1/3 of tongue  
🗑
CN XI Accessory   Cranial branch: dysphonia, dysphagiaSpinal branch: ipsilateral paralysis to SCM and traps  
🗑
CN XII Hypoglossal   Ipsilateral tongue paralysis  
🗑
Corticospinal fibers   Contralateral spastic paralysis  
🗑
Locus Coeruleus   makes NE so keeps awake but off during REM:  
🗑
Vagal Trigone   loss of parasympathetics to thorax and abdomen, reduced gag reflex, dysphonia, dysphagia, uvula deviation, loss of taste to post tongue (solitary nucleus 7.9.10)  
🗑
Hypoglossal Trigone   Ipsilateral tongue paralysis  
🗑
Vestibular area   vertigo, vomiting, nystagmus  
🗑
Facial colliculus (*remember: the facial nerve folds around the Abducens nucleus so both are affected)   Bell's Palsy & Medial strabismus (LR6)  
🗑
Superior Colliculus and Brachium   Lateral strabismus (due to oculomotor), ptosis (droopy lower eyelid), mydriasis (dialated pupil)  
🗑
Nucleus Dorsalis   Clarke's column: C8-L2/3 preganglionic- loss of proprioception from lower body  
🗑
Intermediolateral Cell Column   preganglionic sympathetic neurons T1-L2, sympathetic to S2-S4  
🗑
motor nuclei   contains cell bodies of LMN to skeletal muscles so ipsilateral flaccid paralysis  
🗑
Lesion of spinocerebellar tract   ataxia (unsteady, wide gait)  
🗑
Brown-Sequard Syndrome (hemisection)   lesion of white matter on one side: loss of ipsilateral deep sense from lesion down (dorsal columns)/loss of contralateral pain & temp from 2 levels below lesion and down (lateral spinothalamic tract)  
🗑
DISSOCIATED SENSORY LOSS is associated with ? and means ?   Brown-Sequard Syndrome - Loss of 2 different sensations, one on either side. Ie, loss of deep sense/dorsal columns on one side then loss of P&T from 2 levels below lesion on contralateral side)  
🗑
Brown-Sequard is 5 losses:   1-deep sense, 2-pain and temp (2below), 3-ipsilateral spastic paralysis, 4-proprioception from lower limb, 5-Ipsilateral loss of P&T at level and possibly 2 below (DLF)  
🗑


   

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.
