Q

Withdrawal reflex

A

Stimulus to toe, travels radial nerve to caudal intumescence
Dorsal root ganglion, spinal cord, LMN = flexion of limb
Ideally seeking flexion of joints
Lack of flexion = abnormal function of nerve

Q

Withdrawal reflex efferent of Supraspinatous & axillary nerves

A

Withdrawal of the shoulder, deltoid & suprascapular muscle indicates proper function of the suprascapular & axillary nerve

22
Q

Polysynaptic reflex

A

Reflex that has multiple synapse at the spinal cord or brain

23
Q

Shoulder reflex

A

Cranial intumescence

24
Q

Elbow reflex

A

Mid intumescence

25
Q

Carpal reflex

A

Caudal intumescence

26
Q

Vertebral origin of femoral nerve

A

L4, 5, 6

27
Q

Vertebral origin of obturator nerve

A

L4, 5, 6,

28
Q

Vertebral origin of cranial gluteal nerve

A

L6, 7, S1

29
Q

Vertebral origin of caudal gluteal nerve

A

L6, 7, S1, S2

30
Q

Vertebral origin of sciatic nerve

A

L6, 7, s1, s2,

31
Q

Vertebral origin of pudend. Nerve

A

S1, 2, 3

32
Q

Withdrawal reflex - afferent
Distally

A

Tibial, Fibular

33
Q

Withdrawal reflex - afferent
Laterally

A

Sciatic

34
Q

Withdrawal reflex - afferent
Medially

A

Saphenous / femoral

35
Q

Caudal intumescence lesion - pelvic limb

A

Good hip & stifle flexion
No stifle flexion

36
Q

Reflexes normal to increased in pelvic limbs

A

In Animal with paraparesis, lesion is localized to T3-L3 myelopathy

37
Q

if reflexes are decreased to absent in pelvic limb i

A

In animal with paraparesis, localization is L4-S3 myelopathy or LMN

38
Q

Use for sciatic nerve reflex

A

Common in animals in lateral recumbency
Find sciatic notch. Proper function should flex the stifle
(L6-S1)

39
Q

Use for gastroc reflex

A

Used after cranial tibial
Strike muscle belly, proper function should result in extension of the hock, contraction of thigh muscles may occur. Innervated by tibial branch of sciatic (L7-S1)

40
Q

Use for Cranial tibial reflex

A

Proper functional response is flexion of the hock
Innervated by Fibular branch of sciatic nerve (L6-7)

41
Q

Grading scale for reflexes

A

0 - absent
1 - delayed
2 - normal
3 - increased
4 - clonus
*difference between 3 & 4 = presence of UMN disease

42
Q

Crossed extensor

A

Extension of opposite limb from stimulated during flexor reflex tests
Indicates UMN disease, likely chronic

43
Q

Babinski reflex

A

Stroking limbs on caudolateral surface of hock to digits, animal should elicit no response. Any response like extension and fanning of digits indicates UMN disease

44
Q

Perineal reflex

A

Winking of booty hole, testing pudendal nerve (S1-3)

45
Q

Cutaneous trunci

A

Start caudally
Afferent T3-L5
Efferent is lateral thoracic nerve
- C8-T1 spinal cord segments
- cutaneous trunci muscle
Useful for focusing lesions in T3-L5

46
Q

Hyperpathia

A

Something that could be painful with enough force, but applied force should not be painful*

47
Q

Hyperesthesia

A

Something that shouldn’t be painful but is

48
Q

Nociception

A

Deep pain
More resistant pathways to damage than other pathways. Withdrawal on deep pain, indicates only an intact reflex arc (peripheral nerve & spinal segments)
Deep pain is important for assessing prognosis & surgery

49
Q

Bladder control

A

L1-4, UMN bladder = lesion= increased tone to bladder wall/detrusser muscle & pudendal nerve
s1-3, LMN bladder - lesion = incontience, no tone to detrusser muscle
Pelvic nerve - parasympathetic, releasing bladder
Hypogastric nerve - sympathetic, filling bladder

50
Q

Detrusor muscle tone

A

UMN - increased
LMN - decreased

51
Q

Urethane sphincter tone

A

UMN - increased
LMN - decreased

52
Q

Bladder expression

A

UMN - difficult, urinary retention
LMN - easy, urinary incontinence
