MCA-middle cerebral artery - ANS-NOTE: Interesting fact about the middle cerebral artery
(MCA) is, contralateral homophonous and hemi-agnosia...if the right side, the contralateral sort
they have right-sided homonymous agnosia, if they have right-sided think about what would be
the left vision (it would be fine). So it is usually just on that one side that it is going to be
affected.
Opposite - ANS-Contralateral hemiparesis or hemiplegia is on the ___________ side of the
brain that is going to be affected.
Left-sided contralateral paralysis or paresis (greater in the foot and thigh) and mild upper
extremity weakness with mild contralateral lower extremity sensory deficiency with loss of
vibratory and/or position sense and loss of two-point discrimination. - ANS-Symptoms of an
embolic stroke in only the right anterior cerebral artery would include:
Anterior Cerebral - ANS-A right embolic CVA has resulted in left-sided paralysis and reduced
sensation of the left foot and leg. Which cerebral artery is most likely affected by the emboli?
Embolic - ANS-Atrial fibrillation, rheumatic heart disease, and valvular prosthetics are risk
factors for which type of stroke?
Embolic Stroke - ANS-High-risk sources for the onset of ____________ are a atrial fibrillation
(15% to 25% of strokes), left ventricular aneurysm or thrombus, left atrial thrombus, recent
myocardial infarction, rheumatic valvular disease, mechanical prosthetic valve, nonbacterial
thrombotic endocarditis, bacterial endocarditis, patent foramen ovale, and primary intracardiac
tumors.
,Anosognosia, is ingnorance or denial of the existence of disease - ANS-Since his
cerebrovascular accident, a man has been denying his left hemiplegia. What term is used to
describe this finding?
Aphasia - ANS-What term describes the loss of the comprehension or production of language?
Comprehend speech, but not verbally understand - ANS-With receptive dysphasia (fluent), the
individual is able to?
Tactile agnosia - ANS-After a cerebrovascular accident, a man is unable to either feel or identify
a comb with his eyes closed. This is an example of?
Parietal Lobe - ANS-Tactile agnosia is related to injury of which area of the brain?
Tactile agnosia - ANS-______________________________(astereognosis) is the inability to
recognize objects by touch as a result of damage to the parietal lobe.
Autoimmune - ANS-Guillain-Barre Syndrome is an __________ disease that is triggered by
some type of bacterial or viral infection.
Upper respiratory infection, Zika - ANS-GB typically starts from an
________________________. Some studies are showing that it is linked to the ________ virus.
Multiple Sclerosis - ANS-_______________________ is another __automimmune_ disease
marked by _exacerbations_ and _remissions__.
Demyelination of nerve fibers in the CNS - ANS-What is the central component of the
pathogenic model of multiple sclerosis?
,MS - ANS-Demyelination of nerve fibers in the CNS
MS - ANS-_________ is an automimmune disorder diffusely involving the degeneration of CNS
myelin and loss of axons.
Central nervous system demyelination possibly from an immunogenetic virus - ANS-Multiple
sclerosis is best described as a?
MS - ANS-______________ is described as occurring when a previous infectious insult to the
CNS has occurred in a genetically susceptible individual with a subsequent abnormal immune
response in the CNS.
Result from demyelination by an immune reaction - ANS-Multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre
syndrome are similar in that they are both?
Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) - ANS-
____________________________________accounts for most occurrences of Guillain-Barre
syndrome and MS is an autoimmune disorder diffusely involving degeneration of CNS myelin
and loss of axons.
Myasthenia Gravis, acetycholine - ANS-___________________ is also an _automimmune_
disease characterized by antibodies attacking _______________ receptors.
Acetycholine - ANS-______________________ is one of our neuromuscular enzymes,
hormones that help the muscles to __contract_.
Myasthenia gravis - ANS-________________can be _insidious__, marked by __exertional__
fatigue.
, Microaspirations - ANS-Individuals with myasthenia gravis begin to have_______________
which leads to chronic respiratory infections.
Dopamine - ANS-Clinical manifestations of Parkinson disease are caused by a deficit in which of
the brain's neurotransmitters?
Bouts of pneumonia; ptosis (drooping of eyelids); facial drooping; difficulty
chewing/swallowing; and weight loss - ANS-As myasthenia gravis progresses, individuals will
display?
Parkinson Disease - ANS-______________ is a commonly occurring degenerative disorder
involving deficits of dopamine.
Substantia nigra that produces dopamine - ANS-Tremors at rest, rigidity, akinesia, and postural
abnormalities are a result of the atrophy of neurons in the brain's what?
Bouts of pneumonia; ptosis (drooping of eyelids); facial drooping; difficulty
chewing/swallowing; and weight loss - ANS-The hallmark characteristics of Parkinson disease
are a result of:
Fragmented sleep, depression, muscle stiffness, and bradykinesia - ANS-The clinical
manifestations of Parkinson's disease include.
Basal ganglia - ANS-Parkinson disease is a degenerative disorder of the brain's
