Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 8ILQ
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/motorpathway) to learn more about the descending motor pathway for the somatic nervous system. The autonomic connections are mentioned, which are covered in another chapter. From this brief video, only some of the descending motor pathway of the somatic nervous system is described. Which division of the pathway is described and which division is left out?

Hydrocephalous is medical condition that results from the imbalance in the rate of production and absortion of cerebrospinal fluid in central nervous system. Describe the Production, flow and absorption of Cerebrospinal Fluid in the central nervous system.
A small child has bumped their knee but reports to their parent that rubbing
the affected area lessens the pain. Explain how the sensation of pain is
transduced within the nervous system and explain why rubbing the painful
area may appear to lessen the pain for this child.
This assignment is designed to get you thinking about the functions of some of the structures in the central and peripheral nervous system. Listed below are different symptoms or complications that can be attributed to something from the nervous system. List the specific structure that is most likely the root cause of the pathology. In addition, label which branch of the nervous system that structure is a part of (CNS or PNS). I suggest making a table with the pathology in one column, the affected structure in the next column, and the nervous system section in the final column. Two examples are below. It is possible that more than one answer could be correct.

- Reflexes can be somatic (as in the knee jerk response) or visceral (as in vomiting). Given that both result in an involuntary motor response, why aren’t they both considered visceral motor?arrow_forwardYou are observing in a Physical Therapy clinic and a patient presents with back pain. The images suggest that they have a disc herniation at the disk between L3 and L4. The PT you are working with believes that the disk is putting pressure on the spinal nerve that contains the afferent and efferent neurons that control the patellar tendon reflex. Using the appropriate anatomy and physiology, describe the afferent and efferent portions of this stretch reflex pathway, including a description of the receptor and what it responds to. If you performed a patellar tendon reflex, describe whether you would expect to see an enhanced or diminished response and explain why.arrow_forwardWhich division of the nervous system utilizes pre- and postganglionic neurons?

Often, the action potentials occur sorapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is nothelpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded froma neuron and it “pops” each time the neuron fires an actionpotential. These action potentials are firing so fast that itsounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists canrecognize the patterns within that static to understand whatis happening. Why is the leech model used for measuringthe electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?arrow_forwardFill in the blank: The cell bodies of motor neurons are found in the _______________________ horns of the spinal cord.arrow_forward

The axon contains microtubules and neurofilaments that are bounded by a plasma membrane known as the axolemma. Outside the plasma membrane of the axon is the myelin sheath, which is composed of the tightly wrapped plasma membrane of a Schwann cell.
