Corticonuclear tract

Corticospinal tract

Definition: motor pathway from the motor cortex of the brain to the motor nuclei of cranial nerves within the brainstem.

Definition: motor pathway from the brain’s motor cortex to lower motor neurons located in the anterior horn of the spinal cord’s gray matter. Divided into the anterior corticospinal tract (supplies axial muscles) and the lateral corticospinal tract (supplies muscles of the limbs).

Function: responsible for voluntary movement of the muscles of the face (CN. VII), head and neck (CN. XI). Also involved in phonation, swallowing and facial expression. (CN. VII and IX)

Function: responsible for voluntary movement of the muscles of the limbs and trunk.

Chemical synapses

Electrical synapses

It is present in higher vertebrates.

It is present in both lower and higher vertebrates and invertebrates.

Nerve impulse is transmitted using a neurotransmitter.

Nerve impulse is transmitted using ions.

Unidirectional transmission.

Bi-directional transmission.

Gaps between cells are around 20 nm

Smaller gaps - only 3 - 5 nm

Transmission is relatively slow - several milliseconds.

Transmission is fast - almost instant.

Either inhibitory or excitatory.

Excitatory.

Signal remains strong.

Signal will disappear over time.

Sensitive to pH and hypoxia.

Insensitive to pH and hypoxia.

Vulnerability to fatigue.

Relatively less vulnerable to fatigue.

PULSATION OF JUGULAR VEIN

PULSATION OF CAROTID ARTERY

No pulsations palpable.

Palpable pulsations.

Pulsations obliterated by pressure above the clavicle.

Pulsations not obliterated by pressure above the clavicle.

Level of pulse wave decreased on inspiration; increased on expiration.

No effects of respiration on pulse.

Usually two pulsations per systole (x and y descents).

One pulsation per systole.

Prominent descents.

Descents not prominent.

The thyroid cartilage is a substantial shield-shaped structure that is situated near the top of the larynx in the front of the neck (voice box). Due to variations in the size and shape of the larynx, it is frequently referred to as the Adam's apple and is more noticeable in men than in women.

The laryngeal prominence, also referred to as the Adam's apple, is the point where the two halves or plates of hyaline cartilage that make up the thyroid cartilage meet. The superior thyroid notch, which is modest and visible in certain persons, is located in front of the thyroid cartilage.

The larynx and vocal cords are shielded by the thyroid cartilage, which is also crucial for speech production. The muscles of the larynx are in charge of regulating the tension and positioning of the vocal cords during speech and singing. The vocal cords are linked to the rear of the thyroid cartilage. By providing places of attachment for the muscles involved in swallowing, the thyroid cartilage also contributes to this process.
