Question
Answer
Name for protective coverings over spinal cord and brain.   show
🗑
show Epidural space, dura mater, subdural space, arachnoid mater, subarachnoid space, pia mater.  
🗑
What space in the spinal cord has CSF?   show
🗑
show Denticulate ligaments  
🗑
Spinal cord starts here and goes to this vertebra.   show
🗑
show Cervical and Lumbar enlargement for arm and leg nerves.  
🗑
End of spinal cord.   show
🗑
show Filum Terminale  
🗑
show Cauda Equina  
🗑
How many pairs of spinal nerves do we have? Where is the first? What nerve is below C7 vertebra? What is below vertebra T9?   show
🗑
show Anterior median fissure  
🗑
Indent on posterior side of spinal cord.   show
🗑
show Gray commissure.  
🗑
show Central canal  
🗑
show Posterior gray horn. Sensory/dorsal root  
🗑
show Anterior gray horn. Motor/anterior root.  
🗑
Area of gray matter found only in part of spinal cord. Name area, location, and what nerves are involved.   show
🗑
General areas of white matter.   show
🗑
show Tracts vs. nerves.  
🗑
show Epineurium around whole nerve. Perineurium around fascicles. Endoneurium around each axon.  
🗑
Branches of spinal nerves and what they do.   show
🗑
show Plexus.  
🗑
Spinal nerves in cervical network of axons.   show
🗑
Nerves in brachial axon network. Name 5 major nerve branches of this network.   show
🗑
Nerves of lumbar nerve network. What do they feed?   show
🗑
show T2-T12  
🗑
show L4, L5, S1-S4. They combine to make the sciatic nerve (and other smaller nerves)and feed the buttocks, legs, and perineum.  
🗑
What nerves are in the lower most nerve network?   show
🗑
What problem is often from L4 +L5 disc damage?   show
🗑
What causes TOS?   show
🗑
show Carpal tunnel is the entrapment of the median nerve in this tunnel.  
🗑
show Cause acute trauma to the brachial plexus - C5.  
🗑
show Dermatomes.  
🗑
show 8  
🗑
If someone has a C5 disc herniation, what area may have lowered sensation?   show
🗑
If a patient has a numb thumb, what nerve may be damaged?   show
🗑
2 homeostatic functions of spinal cord   show
🗑
Name 3 white matter tracts and what sense is transmitted.   show
🗑
2 types of pathways of motor output from brain to spinal cord and what messages go through them.   show
🗑
show A fast automatic unplanned sequence of actions.  
🗑
show Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, brain/integrative area/interneuron, motor neuron, effector.  
🗑
If the effector is skeletal muscle, the reflex is what type?   show
🗑
show Autonomic reflex.  
🗑
What are two reflexes that don't involve skeletal muscle and what do they cause?   show
🗑
Just name 4 reflexes involving skeletal muscle.   show
🗑
show Stretch reflex- stretched muscles contract to prevent overstretching and tearing (muscle length control). The opposing muscles do nothing (relax) called antagonist inhibition.  
🗑
show Stretch reflex- hit patellar ligament cause quick stretch of quad which contracts, kicking foot. If this is decreased, there is a problem with the lower motor neuron in PNS. If overexagerated, problem with upper motor neuron in CNS.  
🗑
Describe reflex dealing with muscle tension control. When will it be seen?   show
🗑
show There will be ipsilateral flexion (through interneuron) and contralateral extension (through interneuron on opposite side).  
🗑
What reflex do we lose as a young child? What does this reflex mean if found in an adult?   show
🗑
