16
Q

This lobe has two areas for speech (motor and written).

A

Frontal

17
Q

This lobe has conscious skeletal movement and judgment formation.

A

Frontal

18
Q

This lobe interprets sensory impulses from the skin and can also determine distance, size and shape.

A

Parietal

19
Q

Cerebrum’s outer portion is composed of gray matter called this.

Sulci
Gyri
Cerebral Cortex

A

Cerebral Cortex

20
Q

Injury to Broca’s Area can cause EXPRESSIVE APHASIA which causes inability to speak. Broca’s area is found in this lobe of the cerebrum.

A

Frontal

21
Q

Injury to Wernicke’s Area can cause RECEPTIVE APHASIA, in which a person hears a sound but unable to interpret its meaning (ie listening to a foreign language). Wernicke’s are is found in this lobe of the cerebrum.

A

Temporal

22
Q

This structure is located at the base of the brain and contains the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata. This structure’s main function is to carry all nerve fibers between the spinal cord and the cerebrum.

Cerebellum
Basal Ganglia
Brainstem

A

Brainstem

23
Q

This second largest structure of the brain lies posterior and inferior to the cerebrum. Voluntary movement coordination and balance, equilibrium, muscle tone maintenance are its main responsibility. What is it?

Interneuron
Cerebellum
Cerebrum

A

Cerebellum

24
Q

This structure conducts impulses from and to the brain AND serves as a center for reflex action. In addition, this structure can be 17 to 18 inch long that extends from the brainstem all the way down to 2nd lumbar vertebra. Wicked loongg!!

Basal Ganglia
Midbrain
Spinal Cord

A

Spinal Cord

25
Q

The PNS is composed of how many cranial nerves?

A

12 pairs or 24

26
Q

The PNS is composed of how many spinal nerves

A

31 pairs or 62

27
Q

To maintain homeostasis, the autonomic nervous system has two divisions. These divisions work antagonistic of one another. Ever heard of fight or flight? Yeah, that’s right…

A

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic

28
Q

True or False

As neurons are lost with aging, neurologic function deteriorates, resulting in slowed reflex and reaction time.

A

True

29
Q

True or False

The incidence of stroke does NOT increase with age.

A

False

30
Q

True or False
Cigarette smoking has been found to decrease the incidence nervous system damage due to certain chemicals that keeps the neurons firing.

A

False. It has been proven that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer, which in some cases, metastasizes to the brain causing far more damage.

31
Q

True or False

Trauma or spinal cord injury and head injury occur frequently on young people.

A

True. Patient teaching on voiding such injuries should include avoidance of drug and alcohol use, safe use of motor vehicle (helmets, seatbelts), safe swimming practices, safe handling and storage of firearms, use of hard hats in dangerous construction areas, and use of protective gear as needed for sports.
