aggregations of nerve cell bodies
|
|
What is a deep tendon reflex?
|
Muscle stretch reflexes that are relayed over structures of both the central and peripheral nervous system
|
|
What is a reflex?
|
Involuntary stereotypical response that may involve as few as 2 neurons, one afferent(sensory) and one efferent (motor)across a synapse
|
|
Deep tendon reflexes in arms and legs are?
|
Monosynaptic reflexes
|
|
To elicit a deep tendon reflex?
|
tap tendon of partially stretched muscle
|
|
In order for deep tendon reflex to fire what component must be intact?
|
Reflex arc component
|
|
What are the components of the reflex arc?
|

|
3 kinds of motor pathways
|
Corticospinal tract, basal ganglia system, cerebellar system
|
|
Corticospinal tract
|
Mediate voluntary movement and integrate skill, complicated, or dedicated movements by selective muscular actions and inhibiting others. Inhibits muscle tone, originates in the motor cortex
|
|
Basal ganglia system
|
Maintains muscle tone, controls body movement, gross autonomic movements ex:walking
|
|
Cerebellar system
|
Sensory and motor input. Coordinates motor activity, maintains equilibrium, controls posture
|
|
If there is a Upper motor neuron(UMN) lesion above crossover of its tracts in the medulla
|
Motor impairment on the contralateral side (opposite side)
|
|
If UMN lesion below the crossover of its tracts
|
ipsilateral side (same side)
|
|
UMN lesions manifestations
|
decreased muscle tone, deep tendon reflex exaggerated
|
|
Basal ganglia damage
|
increase muscle tone, disturbance in posture and gait, bradykinesia, involuntary movements
|
|
Cerebrum damage
|
impairs coordination, gait and equilibrium, and decreased muscle tone
|
|
What do sensory impulses do?
|
give rise to conscious sensation, calibrate body position in space, regulate BP, HR, and respiration
|
|
2 Sensory pathways?
|
Spinothalamic tracts and Posterior columns
|
|
Spinothalamic tract?
|
Pain and temp. Crude touch-light touch without localization
|
|
Posterior columns?
