The lateral cortical spinal tract carries what type of fibers, and how are they arranged in the spinal cord?
motor fibers, arms medially, legs laterally
What tract carries pain and temperature sensation? Where is it located on the spinal cord?
Spinal Thalamic tract, ventral part
Play this game: Where is the Lesion?? Pt II Ill name its common location on the spinal cord, you name the disease in grey matter, affect lower motor neuron only, cause flaccid paralysis

Play this game: Where is the Lesion?? Pt II Ill name its common location on the spinal cord, you name the disease grey matter, and motor tracts: upper and lower motor neuron deficits
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Play this game: Where is the Lesion?? Pt II Ill name its common location on the spinal cord, you name the disease everywhere, but spares the dorsal columns
Ventral artery occlusion
Play this game: Where is the Lesion?? Pt II Ill name its common location on the spinal cord, you name the disease dorsal column, impairs propioception and causes locomotor ataxia
Tabes dorsalis (tertiary syphilis)
Play this game: Where is the Lesion?? Pt II Ill name its common location on the spinal cord, you name the disease Dorsal column, lateral corticospinal tracts and spinocerebellar tracts
Vitamin B12 Neuropathy/Friedreich's ataxia
Play this game: Where is the Lesion?? Pt II Ill name its common location on the spinal cord, you name the disease central white commisure and ventral horns
Syringomyelia
Mr. Brown-Sequard was struck on the spinal cord that resulted in the hemisection of the spinal cord at T3 level. Give me 4 symptoms that you may find in him
1. Ipsilateral motor paralysis 2. Ipsilateral loss of tactile, vibration, proprioception senses 3. Contralateral pain and temperature loss 4. Ipsilateral loss of ALL sensation at the T3 level
What are the signs of Lower Motor neuron lesion?
everything lowered: ↓ muscle mass, ↓ muscle tone, ↓ reflexes, downgoing toes
What are the signs of Upper Motor neuron lesion?
Upper = everything up (tone, DTRs, toes)
True or False: Upper motor neuron lesion of the face causes contralateral weakness of lower face only
TRUE, this lesion causes contralateral weakness of the lower face only
True or False: Lower motor neuron lesion of the face causes contralateral weakness of lower face only

A patient comes in with facial paralysis and inability to close the eye on one side of the face, suggesting Bell's Palsy. What diseases might you see in him that could have caused his condition?
ALexanger Bell with STD: AIDS, Lyme, Sarcoid, Tumors, Diabetes
Upper motor neuron lesion of CNVII result in what?
contralateral paralysis of lower quadrant
What is the difference between alpha and gamma motor neurons?
alpha fibers participates in the reflex arc and cause extrafusal contraction. Gamma neurons are stimulated by CNS to contract intrafusal fiber to increase sensitivity of reflex arc
