25
Q

True or false: Destruction of the left auditory cortex will result in deafness in the right ear.

A

False.

It won’t result in deafness in either ear. Multiple decussations allow info from both cochlea to reach both auditory cortices.

SO, both auditory cortices must be destroyed for deafness to occur

26
Q

Which portion of the limbic system is responsible for homeostasis and circadian rythym?

A

hypothalamus

27
Q

Which portion of the limbic system is responsible for emotional memory (ex: signs of fear even if auditory cortex is damaged)

28
Q

Which portion of the limbic system is responsible for converting short term memory to long term memory?

A

hippocampus

29
Q

Which portion of the limbic system is responsible for emotional behavior and conscious proprioception?

30
Q

Functions to arouse the cortex; controls consciousness and requires a functional cortex:

A

ARAS

Ascending Reticular Activating System

31
Q

Cerebral disorder resulting in an episodic and sudden onset of REM sleep:

A

narcolepsy

32
Q

A cortical event characterized by abnormal neuronal discharge which is both excessive and hypersynchronized:

33
Q

What is the most common type of seizure in veterinary medicine?

A

generalized seizures

34
Q

Which type of seizure is common in cats and causes facial twitching without loss of consciousness?

A

Simple Partial Seizure

35
Q

Which spinal cord segment supplies the brachial plexus?

A

cervicothoracic (C6-T2)

36
Q

Which spinal cord segment provides SNS innervation to the eye?

A

cervicothoracic (C6-T2)

37
Q

Which spinal cord segment supplies the pelvic plexus?

A

lumbosacral (L4-S2)

38
Q

Where can you collect CSF from?

A

subarachnoid space and cisterna magna

39
Q

Which lobe relates to planning and initiation of movement?

40
Q

Which portion of the limbic system has to do with emotional behavior?

41
Q

If you have damage to the C6-T2 spinal region, which region of the body would you most likely see signs in?

A

thoracic limb

42
Q

Where is the lumbar intumescence located?

43
Q

If you have a lesion in the Dorsal Funiculus (in the white matter), what would be affected?

A

conscious proprioception

44
Q

The very caudal end of the spinal cord (where it ends) is called the:

A

conus medularis

45
Q

Which lobe of the brain is also known as the “sensorymotor cortex”?

A

frontal lobe

46
Q

Damage to the pyriform lobe may result in:

A

anosmia (loss of smell)

47
Q

Which component of the limbic system has a “ram’s horn” shape to it?

A

hippocampus

48
Q

loss of function to the iris sphincter muscles, therefore dilation of the pupil, is known as:

49
Q

What does the acronym ARAS stand for and what is its function?

A

ARAS stands for Ascending Reticular Activating System.

It is part of the brainstem reticular formation and is necessary for normal consciousness (along with a functional cerebral cortex)

50
Q

Is the femoral nerve considered UMN or LMN?

A

lower motor neuron (LMN)

51
Q

Neurons originating in the brainstem or spinal cord that synapse onto skeletal muscle fibers

A

lower motor neurons (LMN)

52
Q

Descending neurons originating from the cerebral motor cortex or various nuclei of the brainstem

A

upper motor neurons (UMN)

53
Q

C1 exits the vertebral canal via the:

A

lateral vertebral foramen of atlas

54
Q

C2-C7 exit vertebral canal via the:

A

interbertebral foramen named for the vertebral body that forms near the caudal border

Ex: C4 spinal nerve exits the intervertebral foramen between C3 and C4

55
Q

Which spinal cord region is C1-C5?

A

cranial cervical region

56
Q

Which spinal cord region is T3-L3?

A

Thoracolumbar region

57
Q

Which spinal cord region is C6-T2?

A

Cervicothoracic region

58
Q

Which spinal cord region is S1-S3?

A

Sacral region

59
Q

Which spinal cord region is Cd1-5?

A

caudal region

60
Q

Which spinal cord region supplies sensory and motor innervation to the pelvic limb?

A

Lumbosacral region (L4-S2)

61
Q

About where does the cauda equina begin in the dog?

62
Q

What word would you use to describe the mental status of an animal that is responsive to stimuli, but responses are abnormal?

A

demented/delirious/disoriented
