Pathways

Neuro

TermDefinition
Reticulospinal 1st neuron: sup colliculus Bilateral postural & gross limb mvmnt muscs; responds to visual & auditory stim; anticipatory post adjustments & reaching; stepping pattern generators
Medial vestibulospinal 1st neuron: medial vestibular nucleus of pons Receives bilat head & neck movement & position info from vestibular organs & uses this info to control posture
Lateral vestibulospinal 1st neuron: lat vestibular nuc of pons (ipsilateral) Responds to gravity info; facilitates LMN's to extensors & inhibits LMN's to flexors in order to control LE posture
medial corticospinal 1st neuron: cerebral motor cortex Controls neck, shoulder, & trunk postural muscles
lateral corticospinal contralateral control of muscs for fine, distal, fractionated movements; crosses at pyramidal decussation to separate from medial cs; controls voluntary movements
rubrospinal contralateral control of UE flexors; crosses midline ant to tegmental decussation
corticolbulbar/corticobrainstem 1st neuron(s): motor cortex & frontal eye fields; project from CN nuclei in brainstem to face & muscs of face
non-specific UMN "Emotional Motor System: ceruleospinal tract (arousal, attention, memory, emotions, behavior, postural control, etc...) & raphespinal tract (acts to inhibit pain in sc)
afferent visceral receptors from mouth CN VII & IX; solitary nucleus in medulla
afferent receptors from throat & gut CN X; solitary nucleus
afferent stretch receptors in bld vessels info from periph nerves to SC- autonomic reflex w/ autonomic efferents
afferent stretch receptors in GI tract passes through autonomic ganglia, but does not synapse here; autonomic reflexes w/ autonomic efferents in SC

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
