19
Q

4 vestibular nuclei

A

superior
inferior
medial
lateral

20
Q

functions of vestibular input

A

posture
coordinate head movement
coordinate eye movement

21
Q

LVST arises from _______ goes down _______

A

lateral nucleus goes down lateral funiculus

22
Q

LVST provides _______ projections to _________

A

excitatory

ipsilateral antigravity mm.

23
Q

MVST arises from ________ and extends to ________ via _______

A

medial nucleus extends to
cervical cord via
MLF

24
Q

stabilizes head movement while walking and coordinates head/eye movement

A

MVST (baseball players)

25
Q

mediates postural changes

A

LVST

26
Q

Vestibulo Ocular Reflex system (VOR)

A

works to prevent images from moving on retina

27
Q

VOR afferent limb

A

VIII vestibular division

28
Q

VOR efferent limb

A

III, IV, VI

29
Q

nystagmus

A

VOR can’t compensate for head movements

30
Q

what does alcohol do to vestibular system?

A

decreases density of cupula to less than endolymph

creates positional nystagmus

31
Q

what 3 systems work together for vision sense

A

proprioceptive
vestibular
visual

32
Q

Romberg’s sign

A

close eyes -> sway, loss of balance
