Presentation Transcript

    1. Neurological Assessment Sensory, Proprioception, Cerebellar Functioning and Reflexes

    2. Crossed Representation L cerebral cortex receives sensory info from and controls motor function of R side of body R cerebral cortex does same with L side of body Sensory & motor pathways

    3. Sensory Pathways Sensory receptors located in skin, mucous membranes, muscles, tendons, & viscera Receptors monitor sensation, internal organ functioning, body position, & reflexes Sensation travels in the afferent fibers in the peripheral nerve through posterior (dorsal) root into the spinal cord Then on to….

    4. Spinothalamic tract Contains sensory fibers that transmit pain sensation, temperature, & crude or light touch. Fibers enter dorsal root of the spinal cord & synapse with a second sensory neuron The second order neuron crosses to the opposite side & ascends up the spinothalamic tract to the thalamus…
