Q

Lesions in CNS proximal to cochlear nuclei

23
Q

receive input from post saccule and psot semicircular canal

A

inf vestibular gang

24
Q

discuss pathway of head rotation

A

head rot = movement of endolymph through ampullae - deforms gelatinous cupula = hair cells (crista ampullaris) - activates vestibular ganglia of Scarpa - vestibular nerves

25
Q

contains maculae

A

utricle and saccule for linear accleration and head tilt

26
Q

contains otoliths

A

macula

27
Q

discuss gravity, linear acceleration

A

pulls on otoliths - activates hair cells - vestbular gang - vestibular div of CN VIII - vestib nuc

28
Q

for angular acceleration

A

semicircular canals

29
Q

for linear acceleration

A

utricle and saccule - otoliths

30
Q

for vestibulo ocular reflex

A

medial vestibular nuc

31
Q

responsible for VOR

A

Communication between vestibular nuclei and abducens nerve (LR) on contralateral side and ipsilateral MR - MLF to CN III

32
Q

discuss VOR

A

Side to which head turns stimulated the ipsilateral vestibular system greater - ocular motor nuc through MLF

33
Q

supresses VOR

A

vestibulocerebellum

33
Q

triggers physiologic nystagmus

A

spinning, stripes, endpoint gaze

34
Q

triggers pathologic nystagmus

A

lesions in retina, optic nerve/chiasm, brainstem, cerebellum

35
Q

apparent oscillation of objects viewed

A

Oscillopsia

36
Q

sensation of movement, generally a feeling of rotation or spinning of self or the environment

A

vertigo

37
Q

Central and peripheral lesions

A

jerk nystagmus

38
Q

always vestibular in origin

A

40
Q

may have a rotatory component

A
