Neuroanatomy — Flashcards

Flashcard 511: Which cranial nerves (4) are located in the pons? _____

Answer: V, VI, VII, and VIII

Flashcard 512: Which tract is responsible for transmitting unconscious proprioception to the cerebellum?

Answer: Spinocerebellar tract

Extra: The spinocerebellar tracts (dorsal and ventral) are located in the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord and are essential for coordinating movement by conveying unconscious proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum.

Flashcard 513: Which matter in the spinal cord contains functionally similar axons called tracts or fasciculi? _____

Answer: White matter

Flashcard 514: Which nerves (2) carry parasympathetics to the GI tract? _____

Answer: Vagus, Pelvic splanchnic

Flashcard 515: The _____-cerebellar tract carries unconscious proprioceptive input from the upper extremities/trunk

Answer: cuneo

Answer: Primary motor cortex

Flashcard 517: Chiari _____ malformation is congenital and is mostly asymptomatic in childhood

Answer: I

Flashcard 518: What syndrome is associated with a lesion of the following areas? 1. Spinothalamic tract 2. Spinal trigeminal nucleus 3. Hypothalamospinal tract 4. Facial nucleus (CN VII) 5. Cochlear nucleus (CN VIII) 6. Vestibular nucleus (CN VIII) 7. Middle and inferior cerebellar peduncles 8. Labyrinthine artery

Answer: Lateral pontine syndrome (AICA syndrome / Marie-Foix syndrome)

Flashcard 519: Which cranial nerves (4) are located above the pons? _____

Answer: I, II, III, and IV

Flashcard 520: Which tract is responsible for conveying unconscious proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum?

Answer: Spinocerebellar tract

Extra: The spinocerebellar tracts (including the dorsal and ventral tracts) are responsible for conveying unconscious proprioceptive information from the limbs and trunk to the cerebellum.
