Chapter 15, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The name of the principal pathways that carry information which is affected by the brain damage causing Michael’s cerebral palsy.
Introduction:
Cerebral palsy is the type of permanent disorder in which a neurological set is disturbed which affects the movements of body and muscle coordination permanently. Hearing, vision, swelling are some other problems which can see in this disorder.

Explain the descending pathway from the brain where Mr. Dexter decides to move his right leg to the actual movement of his quadriceps. (Use complete sentences.) Use key words in this order: primary motor cortex in precentral gyrus, frontal lobe, descending tract, decussate, ventral horn with motor neuron in lumbar spinal cord, ventral root, spinal nerve, sciatic nerve in lumbosacral plexus, muscles to move leg (ie. quadriceps)to take a step.
Injury to the extra pyramidal motor system does not cause paralysis of voluntary movement and general spasticity. Explain why and discuss the major motor symptoms observed in extra pyramidal motor disorders.
When removing cerebrospinal fluid during a spinal tap, the needle is inserted below L2. Explain why spinal taps are not done above this level.
