62
adiadochokinesia or dysdiadokokinesia
damage to cerebellum that results in inability to perform rapid alternating muscle movements
63
ataxia
damage to cerebellum that results in general incoordination of motor acts
64
decomposition of movement
damage to cerebellum that results in person will break a complex motor act into its components and execute the act movement by movement
65
dysmetria
damage to cerebellum that results in inability to gauge the distance, speed, and power of movements--leads to overshooting
66
hypotonia
damage to cerebellum that results in muscle flaccidity
67
tremor
damage to cerebellum that results in usually intention tremor, tremor when active not at rest
68
nystagumus
damage to cerebellum that results in rhythmic oscillatory abnormalities of the pupil of the eye
69
hypotonia or flaccid paralysis
damage to the final common pathway results in lesions in the CN or peripheral nerves, neural impulses will not be transmitted to the muscles; this is called denervation; result is muscles become soft and flabby because of loss of muscle tone
70
hyporeflexia
damage to the final common pathway results in damage to the reflex arc that is involved with the nerve; normal reflex response is gone
71
atrophy
damage to the final common pathway results in with loss of innervation, muscles lose bulk and undergo atrophy; atrophic muscles will often show fasciculations and fibrillations which are caused by electrical disturbances in muscle fibers resulting from denervation
72
fasciculations
damage to the final common pathway results in brief localized twitches occurs from excess or spontaneous motor unit discharges
73
fibrillation
damage to the final common pathway results in muscles that are deprived of LMN input will generate slow, repetitive action potentials and contact regularly
74
what are the major anatomical markings of the cerebrum?
a. Lateral sulcus – runs horizontally along the lateral sides of each hemisphere and separates the temporal lobe from the frontal lobe b. Central sulcus – extends vertically from the very top of the hemisphere down to the lateral sulcus c. Precentral gyrus (primary motor cortex, motor strip) – control voluntary movements of the body d. Postcentral gyrus (primary sensory cortex, sensory strip) – receive sensory information from the body via the PNS and other portions of the CNS e. Cerebral cortex – surface of the cerebrum; separated into gray and white matter; responsible for higher cognitive activities, such as language, motor planning, problem solving, and much sensory perception

87
functions of primary motor cortex?
a. Receives the neural motor impulses that have been processed, smoothed, and coordinated by the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and thalamus b.
