Presentation transcript:

Review of The vestibular system Two classes of sensory subsystems: 3 crista: encode angular acceleration Located in the ampulla at the terminus of each of 3 fluid-filled semi circular canals The inertial force of the fluid provides the basis for moving hair bundles Otolith organs: encode linear acceleration Two types: Utricle (Horizontal acceleration) Saccule (vertical acceleration) Located in the utricle The inertial force of the otoliths provides the basis for moving hair bundles

In both subsystems the hair cell is used to transduce head movement information At rest there is a continuous intermediate level of NT release Hair cells depolarize or hyperpolarize depending direction of cilium movement Towards kinocilium depolarized (increases NT release) Away from kinocilium hyperpolarizes (decreases NT release) Note that all output from the vestibular organs exit the boney labyrinth via the VIII cranial nerve (vestibular-cochlear nerve) An interesting link: http://www.bio.davidson.edu/people/midorcas/animalphysiology/websites/2005/Cowell/index.htm

The vestibular system pathways: Overview Vestibular system output travels the VII CN splits and terminates in the brain stem: Cerebellum (movement coordination) Vestibular nuclei. Four nuclei: Superior Lateral Medial Inferior Output from the vestibular nuclei project Up ipsilaterally and contralaterally to optic motor control areas (compensatory eye movements) Down the spinal chord in two pathways to control motor output (balance and posture control)

The vestibular system pathways Location of primary and secondary brainstem nuclei Vestibular nuclei Project to cerebellum, PPRF and spine Paramedian pontine reticular formation projects to abducens Abducens Project to lateral rectus muscle and contralateral oculomotor nucleus Trochlear nucleus superior oblique muscle of the eye Oculomotor nucleus Several extra ocular muscles

Vestibular nuclei

Vestibulospinal projections: The lateral vestibular nucleus/spinal tract Descends the ipsilateral spinal chord Terminates at all levels of the spine. Excitatory pathway activates postural muscles (proximal to spine) to correct for leftward listing.

Vestibulospinal projections: The medial vestibular nucleus/spinal tract Descends ipsilateral and contralateral spinal chord but asymmetrically Terminates in the cervical and thoracic spine. Excitatory pathway activates postural muscles (proximal to spine) mainly in the neck.

Ascending projections to oculomotor nuclei Both direct contralateral and indirect ipsilateral control of extra ocular muscles Counters head movements to keep image stable on retina. Damage of vestibular nerve/nuclei causes nystagmus a oscillation of horizontal eye movement.
