69. Neurons and nuclei in the spinal cord

  1. Onuf’s nucleus is located in Rexed’s lamina IX of the sacral region of the spinal cord and supplies the perineal muscles and the anal and urethral sphincters. (T/F?)
  2. The posteromarginal nucleus and the substantia gelatinosa are structures in the spinal cord where first order neurons of the spinothalamic tract synapse. (T/F?)
  3. Onuf’s nucleus is the origin of the  preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. (T/F?)
  4. The intermediolateral nucleus of the spinal cord contains all the preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic autonomic system of the body. (T/F?)
  5. Onuf’s nucleus is sexually dimorphic, males have more motoneurons in them than females. (T/F?)
  6. Neurons of the Clarke’s columns give rise to the spinothalamic tract. (T/F?)

  4. Motor nuclei are located in lamina IX. (T/F?)
  5. The spinal accessory nucleus of the accessory nerve is located in lamina VIII in cervical segments. (T/F?)
