This quiz will test your knowledge of the many nerve tracts and reflexes learned in Neuroscience Summer Course 2010. You will need to know their function, their pathways, and the symptoms displayed when pathologies interupt these tracts or reflexes.
Trunk Postural Adjustments
Neck Postural Adjustments
Controls eye movements
Discrimintive Touch
Fast Pain
Rate this question:
The STNR presents in typcial development until about 8-11 months of post-natal life
The STNR is a type of spinal cord reflex
The STNR is a precusor to crawling
In the STNR if the head is flexed, the arms flex and legs extend.
In the STNR if the head is extended, the arms extend & legs flex
Rate this question:
True
False
Rate this question:
This polysynaptic reflex starts with the lengthening of a muscle.
The lengthening of the muscle causes the Ia and II sensory axons to fire.
This ultimately results in the inhibition of the antagonist.
The Ia excites motor neurons (Gamma) to the same muscle, causing a contraction that opposes lengthening
