1
Q

Where should light be shown for the pupillary reflex

A

temporal retina

2
Q

What is the afferent path of both the direct and consensual pupillary reflex

A
Optic nerve
Optic tract
Optic chiasm
Pass thru LGB
Superior brachium to pretectal nucles
3
Q

Path of efferent of direct pupillary reflex

A

Pretectal nucleus into IL edinger westphal nucleus–> pre ganglipnic parasymathetic axons leave and exit midbrain and incorporate into occulomotor nerve–> target cillary ganglion. Post ganglionic parasymethetic that leave cillary contribuite to short cillary nerves that supply contrictor papilae mm

4
Q

Path of effernt connsenual pulillary reflex

A

Pretectal nucleus into CL edinger westphal nucleus thru post commisure–> pre ganglipnic parasymathetic axons leave and exit midbrain and incorporate into occulomotor nerve–> target cillary ganglion. Post ganglionic parasymethetic that leave cillary contribuite to short cillary nerves that supply contrictor papilae mm

5
Q

No light on retina leads to what

A

ivoluntary iridodialation

6
Q

Path of afferent dim light response

A

No signal to pretectal nuc
Collateral project to reticular formation into hypothalamic nuclei, projecting bilaterally into interomediolat column of spinal cord t1-3 (Sympathetic centers)

7
Q

Efferent path of dim ligt response

A

Exit ventral horn and pass thru white commicans to travel thru sympathetic trunk to sup cervical ganglia.

Post ganglionic symp fibres follow periarterial nerve plexus/int corotid plexis contributing to short+long cillary nerves to dialator mm

8
Q

What are the 3 things that occur in the accommodation reflex

A
  1. Occular convergence
  2. Thickening of lens
  3. Iridoconstriction
9
Q

Afferent path of occular convergence

A

Retina signals thru optic nerve/chiasma/tract (some cross normally), projects into lgb, optic radiations into visual cortex, then travel to frontal eye field

10
Q

Efferent path of occular convergence

A

Descending corticomesencephaluc fibres from frontal eyefield bilaterally proect into occulomotor nucleus targeting medial rectus subgroup (turn eyes in)

11
Q

Afferent path of lens thickening

A

Retina-> optic nerve to chiasm, tract, pass LGB. Superior brachium to pretectal nucleus (right and left side)

12
Q

Efferent path of lens thickening

A

Axons from pretectal to BL edinger westphal (IL and CL, pass thru post commisure), pre ganglionic fibres go thru occulomotor n and reach cilliary ganglion. Post ympathetic fibres for m short cillary nerves and enter cillary mm (lens becomes thicker)

13
Q

What is argyll roberston pupil/light near dissociation and what is it due to

A

can accomodate pupils(constrict+converge) but do not react directly to light

  • lesion in pretectal zone of rostral midbrain
  • teriary syphilis
14
Q

Presentation of argyll roberston pupil/light near dissociation

A

Small pupils

15
Q

Presentation of adies pupil/light near dissociation

A

Large pupils

16
Q

Effect of adies pupil/light near dissociation

A
  • pupillary light reflex absent/ present but slow

- Accommodation to near vision present + fast

17
Q

What is adies pupil/light near dissociation due to

A

lesion in the cillary ganglion

18
Q

What occurs in horners syndrome (3)

A
  1. iridoconstriction
  2. Droopy sup eyelid
  3. absencet or decreased facial sweating
19
Q

What can horners syndrome be due to (central + peripheral)

A

Central- lat medullary syndrome (PICA), Spyringomyelia (T1/2)

Peripheral lesion- neck tumor, carotid aneurism affecting cervical sympathetic chan/sup cervical ganglion
