Electrophysiology
Clincal electrophys testing
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Recording and measurement of a compound nerve and compound muscle action potential elicited in response to a single supramaximal electrical stimulus under standardized conditions is called? | nerve conduction study(NCS) |
| What are the three measurements being recorded during NCS? | latency, amplitude, and duration |
| The recording and study of insertional, spontaneous and voluntary electrical activity of muscle is known as? | electromyography(EMG) |
| What are the three phases of measurement for electromyography? | insertion, rest, and voluntary contraction(maximal/minimal) |
| When are NCS and EMG used? | when lower motor neuron phenomena is suspected |
| Where is the cell body for a motor neuron located? | anterior horn |
| Where is the cell body for a sensory neuron located? | dorsal root ganglion |
| What five things are conduction velocity dependent upon? | diameter of axon, thickness of myelin, temperature, age, internodal distance |
| Type Ia nerve fibers are responsible for? | prorioception, skeletal muscle |
| Type Ib nerve fibers are responsible for? | afferent info to GTO |
| Type II nerve fibers are responsible for? | cutaneous touch, efferent to muscle spindle |
| Type III nerve fibers are responsible for? | temperature and pain |
| Afferent nerve fibers are sensory or motor? | sensory |
| Efferent nerve fibers are sensory or motor? | motor |
| How many types of afferent nerve fibers are there? | four |
| What are the two types of efferent fibers? | alpha motor neuron, gamma motor neuron |
| How many type A nerve fibers are there and what are they called? | 3/afferent, efferent, and cutaneous |
| What are the two types of cutaneous nerve fibers? | afferent alpha and afferent delta |
| myelinated preganglionic fibers of autonomic nerves are what kind of nerve fibers? | B fibers |
| unmyelinated fibers of somatic nerves that are also afferent fibers of the dorsal root and peripheral nerve that are responsible for poorly localized pain, burning, aching pain are what type of nerve fibers? | C fibers |
| What type of muscle fiber is a slow twitch oxidative fiber? | type I |
| Fast twitch oxidative glyolytic muscle fibers are what type of muscle fibers? | IIA |
| Fast twitch glycolytic muscle fibers are what type of muscle fibers? | IIB |
| What is an orthodromic impulse? | impulse that runs along an axon in its normal direction |
| What is an antidromic impulse? | impulse that runs along an axon in the opposite to normal direction |
| Motor units are recruited according to what? | size |
