A patient comes to you with complaints of arm and leg numbness in the left arm.
All neurological tests were normal, EXCEPT for the nerve conduction velocity tests and EMG results
What structure is most likely the location of the problem?
Sensory Neurons
Motor Neurons
Brain
Spinal Cord
Which is NOT part of the central nervous system?
Brain
Motor Neurons
Spine
Which statement describes the function of the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System?
The Peripheral Nervous System functions to process input from the Central Nervous System, and if necessary, triggers a response to act on the input.
The Central Nervous System is responsible for connecting and triggering the muscle cells throughout the body to respond to stimuli.
The Central Nervous System functions to process input from the Peripheral Nervous System, and if necessary, triggers response to act on the input.
The Central Nervous System is responsible for receiving stimuli from the body’s environment and sends them as signals to the Peripheral Nervous System.
A man was involved in a car accident where he hit his head on his steering wheel. After the accident his friends said his hearing was different. For example, when they called his name, he could barely hear them. His friends said this never happened before the accident.
What part of the brain do you think may have been damaged in the accident?
Frontal Lobe
Parietal Lobe
Occipital Lobe
Temporal Lobe
A neurologist has information that leads her to suspect that a patient has a brain tumor. What test should she order to confirm the diagnosis?
A brain scan such as a CT or MRI scan
A spinal tap to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
An electromyography (EMG) test
Nerve conduction velocity tests
What is the correct order for a signal passing through a neuron?
*REMEMBER the parts of a neuron that a signal needs to go through is (in no particular order): Axon, Synapse, and Dendrite*
