Deep nuclei of cerebellum - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

why is the cerebellum considered part of the motor system? because though damage to the cerebellum still allows movement to occur, patient has: - gait imbalance, poor postural control - poor coordination of voluntary movements, slurred speech (brocha's area = pre motor area for speech) what are the functions of the cerebellum all unconscious - controls equilibrium and balance - controls posture and muscle tone - coordinated purposeful movements - also involved in sensory informat...

SONOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE for Neonatal Brain - correct answer 1. most brain sonographic examinations are performed through the anterior fontanelle in both the coronal and the sagittal planes 2. the posterior fossa is evaluated through the posterior and mastoid fontanelles 3. The foramen magnum approach may be useful when evaluating the upper spinal canal, as in patients with a Chiari malformation. Newborn skull - correct answer ...

What does the thalamus do? - 1. relay station (receives info and tells it where to go) 2. receives sensory fibers from optic tract, ears, and spinal cord 3. receives motor info from cerebellum 4. projects fibers to the cerebrum 5. receives messages from all the sensory receptors and relays it to the proper part of the cerebrum What does the cerebellum do? - 1. coordinates movement and balance 2. processes sensory info and receives input from muscles 3. associated with ataxia (uncoordinate...
