Final Review

Front

What type of dysarthria is caused by cerebellar damage?

Back

Ataxic dysarthria is caused by cerebellar damage.

Front

Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for executive function?

Back

The prefrontal cortex is primarily responsible for executive function.

Front

Which cranial nerve (CN) is likely responsible for hoarseness, dysphasia, gastric secretions, and cardiovascular issues?

Back

Cranial Nerve X (CN X) is likely responsible.

Front

What type of aphasia results from damage exclusively to Broca's area?

Back

Expressive aphasia results from damage exclusively to Broca's area.

Front

Which branch of CN X innervates all intrinsic laryngeal muscles except the cricothyroid?

Back

The Recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates all intrinsic laryngeal muscles except the cricothyroid.

Front

Define ataxic dysarthria.

Back

Ataxic dysarthria is characterized by a lack of coordination and control in speech production, often resulting in slurred or irregular speech.

Front

What is the function of the prefrontal cortex?

Back

The prefrontal cortex is involved in complex cognitive behavior, decision making, and moderating social behavior.

Front

What symptoms might indicate damage to CN X?

Back

Symptoms of CN X damage may include hoarseness, difficulty swallowing (dysphasia), and changes in heart rate.

Front

What is expressive aphasia?

Back

Expressive aphasia is a condition where individuals have difficulty producing speech, often resulting from damage to Broca's area.

Front

What is the role of the Recurrent laryngeal nerve?

Back

The Recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates most intrinsic muscles of the larynx, controlling voice production.
