crude touch
33
Lateral (dorsal) spinocerebellar
ipsilateral trunk unconscious proprioception
34
Anterior (ventral) spinocerebellar
ipsilateral lower extremity unconscious proprioception
35
Anterior corticospinal
trunk, neck, and shoulders motor
36
Lateral corticospinal
extremities (appendicular) motor
37
tectospinal
visual auditory reflexive pathway
38
rubrospinal
activates flexors (pre-central gyrus)
39
vestibulospinal
activates extensors
40
Pyramidal
motor or sensory from the brainstem to the brain
41
Extra-pyramidal

Microglia
macrophages of the nervous system, derived from mesoderm
44
Astrocytes
helps with the blood-brain barrier
45
Ependymal cells
make CSF
46
CN
on on on they traveled and found Voldemort guarding very ancient Horcruxes
47
cholinergic neurotransmitter
acetylcholine, all acetylcholine receptors are nicotinic
48
adrenergic NT
norepinephrine
49
adrenergic receptors
``` alpha= contraction of smooth muscle beta1= increase HR and contraction beta2= relaxation of smooth muscle ```
50
where are Schwann cells found
PNS, make myelin
51
raphe nucleus
sertonin
52
locus ceruleus
stress
53
fasciculus gracilis
carries information from the lower extremities in the dorsal column
54
fasciculus cuneatus

55
guy has sensory over his lateral shoulder, what cord does the nerve that supplies this area come from
posterior cord
56
what nerve supplies temporalis and masseter
CN V
57
what nerve supplies the posterolateral part of the leg sensory
sural

L5
59
what nerve root would be affected in an L4/L5 IVF narrowing
L4
60

medulla
64
what does the hypothalamus control
motivated behaviours like sexuality and hunger
65
if someone sustains an injury to the primary motor area (pre-central gyrus) what tract will take over and what positioning will the body have
rubrospinal, decorticate; flexor activation, extensor inhibition
66
if there is trauma to the midbrain, which motor tract would take over, and what is the resulting body position
vestibulospinal, decerebrate since both corticospinal and rubrospinal would be damaged; activates extensors
