Q

which of the three primary vesicles does not divide into additional structures or parts

A

mesencephalon

20
Q

the _ grows rapidly shaping the brain by _ weeks

A

telencephalon, 11

21
Q

specialized cells for the nervous system responsible for communicating via electrochemical system of cellular communication

A

neurons

22
Q

neurons _ with other neurons

A

synapse

23
Q

list the three parts that make up the cell body of the neuron

A

soma, dendrites, and an axon

24
Q

the white substance made of proteins and fat that wraps around the axons of motor and sensory neurons

A

myelin

25
Q

this matter is found throughout the nervous system

A

white matter

26
Q

responsible for transmission of information for connecting different areas and structures of the brain to one another and enabling them to communicate

A

white matter

27
Q

lacks myelin and is more concerned with the processing and regulating of information than transmission of information

A

grey matter

28
Q

where Broca’s area is located

A

inferior frontal gyrus

29
Q

list the characteristics that align with Broca’s Aphasia

A

speech confluent, dysprosody, associated with apraxia and dysarthria, comprehension better than production

30
Q

inferior to the lateral sulcus

A

temporal lobe

31
Q

where is the hearing center located within the temporal lobe

A

upper half of anterior two thirds of lobe

32
Q

specific tone discrimination, loudness, quality of sound

A

primary auditory areain

33
Q

interprets the meaning of spoken word and music

A

secondary auditory area

34
Q

lies in the posterior part of superior temporal lobe

A

wernicke’s area

35
Q

is developed in only one hemisphere and is important for the integration of sensory input

A

wernicke’s area

36
Q

this MCA deficit includes weakness on one side of the body, face and arms usually more affected than legs

A

contralateral hemiplegia

37
Q

this MCA deficit includes numbness in same side as motor loss

A

cortical hypothesia

38
Q

this MCA deficit includes loss of one half of the visual field in each eye

A

hemianopsia

39
Q

this MCA deficit includes inability to assign meaning to what you see

A

visual agnosia

40
Q

this ACA deficit includes contralateral hemiplegia of leg only

A

paralysis

41
Q

list the 7 deficits associated with MCA lesions

A

contralateral hemiplegia, cortical hypothesia, hemianopsia, aphasia, visual agnosia, apraxia, unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria

42
Q

list the four deficits associated with ACA lesions

A

paralysis, cognitive and emotional changes, apraxia of gait, incontinence

43
Q

list the four deficits associated with PCA

A

Alexia, hemianopsia, visual agnosia, and cortical blindness

44
Q

upper motor neuron innervation for CN V trigemiinal is

A

bilateral

45
Q

t/f a unilateral motor cortex injury of CN V will paralyze chewing muscles and will have a major impact on speech

A

false

46
Q

what are some of the complications an individual with bilateral damage to CN V may face

A

can’t close mandible, can’t move it in full range or quickly
