CNXI (11)

20
Q

A
  • weakness turning head to contralateral side of lesion (SCM)
  • shoulder droop on side of lesion (trapezius)
  • *** the L SCM contracts to help the head turn R ***
21
Q

In conductive hearing loss, the Rinne test will show ____ and the Weber test will show ____.

A
  • Rinne = abnormal
  • Weber = sound louder in affected ear
22
Q

_____ frequency sounds are heard best at the base of the cochlea.

A

High

23
Q

jaw jerk reflex afferent and efferent CNs

A
  • afferent = V3 (5- sensory- muscle spindle from masseter)
  • efferent = V3 (5- motor- masseter muscle)
24
Q

What is the Rinne hearing test and when will it be abnormal?
