Neurology Exam 2

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Prosody   rhythm and intonation of speech -located in non-dominant hemisphere -other aspects of speech are in dominant hemisphere  
🗑
Asteriognosis   stroke involving left parietal association cortex -on R hand will be asteriognosis -due to lesion in parietal association cortex; particularly the superior parietal in the dominant hemisphere  
🗑
Primary gustatory area   Location: frontoparietal operculum and the adjacent part of the insula  
🗑
Cribform plate of the ethmoid bone   Head injury following automobile accident -fractures to basilar skull -no sense of taste -no sense of smell  
🗑
Taste sensations transmission posterior 1/3 of tongue   by ipsi glossopharyngeal nerve (VIII)  
🗑
Tongue anterior 2/3   innervated by Accessory nerve (VII)  
🗑
Where is the location of the taste buds?   epiglottis and palate (X)  
🗑
Damage to solitary tract or nucleus:   complete loss of taste sensations on side of injury  
🗑
Primary olfactory area includes:   uncus adjacent piriform cortex entorhinal cortex  
🗑
Primary olfactory area unlike other cortical sensory areas...   receives only ipsi olfactory impulses  
🗑
Night blindness   associated with deficiency of Vitamin A  
🗑
Vitamin A   aids in restoration of the photopigment rhodopsin in the rods  
🗑
Primary Visual Cortex   neurons transform this input to lines or bars of different orientations  
🗑
Primary Olfactory area includes:   - uncus -adjacent piriform cortex -entorhinal cortex  
🗑
Primary olfactory cortex differs from other sensory areas how?   receives only ipsilateral olfactory impulses  
🗑
Primary gustatory area is located where?   frontoparietal operculum and the adjacent part of the insula  
🗑
Cribform plate of ethomoid bone   head injury: -factures to basilar skull -no taste -no smell  
🗑
Cataract   opacification of the lens  
🗑
Opacification of the lens causes what?   interference with light rays passing through the lens  
🗑
Color blindness   associated with absence of the red, green, or blue sensitivity photopigments in cones  
🗑
Retinal and Lateral geniculate nucleus   respond to focused spots of light with on-center or off-center response properties  
🗑
Cranial nerves and parts of the brain   are essential for integrity of direct & consensual light reflexes  
🗑
Direct reflexes   ipsilateral optic and occulomotor nerves  
🗑
Consensual reflexes   ipsilateral optic nerves and contralateral occulomotor nerves  
🗑
Limbic system   limbic lobe and various structures that are associated with the consolidation of memory, behavior, emotions  
🗑
Two key functional centers of the limbic systems   amygdala and hippocampus  
🗑
Klüver-Bucy syndrome   Bilateral alterations in the amydalae  
🗑
Amydala   strongly associated with fear  
🗑
Fear and anxiety disorders are mostly likely associated with what?   amygdala  
🗑
Equillibrium and visual fixation   chiefly associated with structures in the internal ear  
🗑
Sensation of head movements   arise from visual system, neck afferents, and semicircular ducts of vestibular systems  
🗑
Abnormal sensation of head movements present when:   head is still and eyes are closed -abnormal impulses must be originating from semi-circlular ducts  
🗑
sensory and motor abnormalities involving left side of body and face   impairment of vision on left field of vision  
🗑
Single lesion in Right posterior limb of internal capsule   L. hemianesthesia L. spastic hemiplegia L. homonymous hemianopsia  
🗑
Right Loop of Meyer damage   -gradual loss of visual sensations from limited area of visual field -temporarily staggered neuroimaging reviews slow enlarging mass in right temporal lobe white matter  
🗑
Lesion in the Optic Tract   HH homonymous hemiahopia absence of direct & consensual pupillary light reflexes upon shine of pinpoint light beam onto blind half of either retina  
🗑
Detachment of Retina   occurs between pigment layer and photo receptor layer -detached part stops functioning because rods and cones are metabolically dependent on pigment cells  
🗑
Anterior Cranial fossa Tumor -Anosmia   -gradual and prolonged loss of smell -no chronic nasal congetstion -minimal clear, runny discharge -no head injury  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
