Pathways, vestibular, ocular

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
show Operation of spinal reflex systems -> cortical damage/stroke btwn cerebral cortex/brainstem -> spastic palsy, spinal damage/trauma btwn brainstem and spinal cord -> flaccid paralysis  
🗑
show Reticulospinal, vestibulospinal, tectospinal, corticospinal tracts -> control the axial skeleton via bilateral innervation of alpha motoneurons  
🗑
show From reticular formation -> cranial projection (wakefulness), caudal projection (postural mvmt for wakefulness) -> principal route for spinal CPG activation controlled by cerebral cortex -> whole body axial posture/mvmt  
🗑
What does the vestibulospinal system control?   show
🗑
show From superior colliculus w/ map of contralateral visual space -> generates rapid sensory orientation mvmts (saccades) btwn head/eyes for visual information processing -> don't pass through thalamus (quick responses) -> axial oculomotor/neck muscles  
🗑
show From M1 -> part of the pyramidal tract -> voluntary motor control of axial skeleton -> most decussate (lateral corticospinal tract -> appendicular limbs), 10% of fibres don't decussate (anterior corticospinal tract -> axial trunk)  
🗑
show Midbrain cerebral peduncles (ipsilateral) -> columns, pons -> variable position, medulla (10% don't decussate) -> pyramids, spinal cord -> corticospinal tract  
🗑


   

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.
