    Put the following Neuron types in order according to their signals. (i.e. neuron type, its signal, neuron type, its signal...)
    • Signal goes from Spinal Cord to Thalamus
    • Primary
    • Tertiary
    • Secondary
    • Signal goes from Thalamus to Cerebral Cortex
    • Signal goes from Sensory Receptor to Spinal Cord

    6
    Decussation means 'cross over'.
  • True
  • False
  • 7
    Flaccid Paralysis is when injuries to the lower motor neurons result in lack of signal to the muscles, causing absence of movement.
  • True
  • False
  • 8
    Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) fills what part(s) of the brain, and travels through the spinal cord?
  • Cerebellum
  • Ventricles
  • Meninges (Maters)
  • Vestibular Apparatus
  • 9
    Put the following tracts of the spinal cord with their functions (i.e. tract, function, tract, function).
    • Conduct motor impulses from the brain down the cord to the spinal nerves.
    • Conduct Sensory Impulses such as pain, touch, and temperature up from the spinal nerves to the brain
    • Ascending Tracts
    • Descending Tracts
    • Signal goes from Thalamus to Cerebral Cortex
    • Signal goes from Sensory Receptor to Spinal Cord

    Put the following Motor Descending Tracts in order with their functions. (i.e. MDT, function, MDT, function...)
    • Handle voluntary movements on same side as cerebral cortex
    • Anterior/Ventral Corticospinal Tracts
    • Lateral Corticospinal Tracts
    • Handle voluntary movements on opposite side from cerebral cortex
    • Signal goes from Thalamus to Cerebral Cortex
    • Signal goes from Sensory Receptor to Spinal Cord

    11
    Put the following Motor Descending Tracts in order with their functions. (i.e. MDT, function, MDT, function...)
    • Lateral Reticulospinal Tracts
    • Transmit facilitatory impulses from medulla to muscles that handle muscle tone & extensor reflexes
    • Medial Reticulospinal Tracts
    • Trasmit impulses that coordinate body movements & posture
    • Carry impulses from pons to muscles that deal with muscle tone & extensor reflexes
    • Rubrospinal Tracts
