Femur, fibia (fine), tibia (thick)

41
Q

which forarm bone is on the outside when your thumb is facing away from your body?

A

your radius, remember you take someones radial pulse on the outside of their arm

42

midsaggital

44
Q

what’s lacrimation?

A

the flow of tears

45
Q

how do you see the insula lobe?

A

pull down on the temporal lobe and up on the frontal and parietal lobes

46
Q

Tell me about the Schwabach Test ?

A

Compare patient’s BC to normal hearing with tuning fork on the patient’s mastoid process (assumes normal hearing for the examiner).

NORMAL : patient hears the tone as long as the examiner
CONDUCTIVE : Patient hears tone as long or longer than the examiner
SENSORINEURAL : Patient hears the tone for a shorter time that examiner

47
Q

Tell me about the Rinne Test ?

A

Compare patient’s AC to BC. Alternating the tuning fork between mastoid & ear opening. Common method is to place the tuning fork on the mastoid and ask the patients to report when the sound is gone, then move the tuning fork to present at the ear canal opening without tapping the fork again and see if they soft sound that was “gone” can be heard at the ear canal.

NORMAL : louder at ear (AC) written as AC>BC or a positive Rinne
CONDUCTIVE : louder on mastoid (BC) written as AC<BC or negative Rinne
SENSORINEURAL : Louder at ear (AC) same as normal but if the patient is reporting loss and loss is suspected than AC>BC would indicate the loss is SNHL rather than conductive

48
Q

Tell me about the Bing Test ?

A

Determine presence or absense of the occulsion effect. Tuning fork on mastoid with ear canal open then occluded with finger or pushing tragus to cover the opening.

NORMAL : tone is louder when EAC (external auditory canal) is occcluded with finger
CONDUCTIVE : Tone does not sound louder when ear is occluded
SENSORINEURAL : Tone sounds louder when EAC is occluded - same as normal

49
Q

Tell me about the Weber Test ?

A

Used to determine conductive vs. sensorineaural hearing loss in unilateral cases. Tuning fork is placed in the middle of forehead.

NORMAL : Tone heard equally as loud in both ears (this could also indicate hearing loss that is the same between both ears)
CONDUCTIVE : tone is louder in poorer ear

50
Q

Which 2 tuning fork tests are the most common?

A

Weber & Rinne

51
Q

What frequency tuning forks can be used for TF Tests?

A

Low frequency : 256 Hz, 512 Hz, or 1024 Hz

front section of the skull where the frontal and occipital structures can sit it

63
Q

where is the optic canal?

A

bottom medial part of the sphenoid bone

64
Q

where is the foramen ovale ?

A

oval shaped hole inferior to the sphenoid bone

65
Q

foramen spinosum

A

lateral hole to the foramen ovale. smaller in size

66
