Functional Scoliosis - CORRECT ANSWER -is flexible; it is apparent with standing
and disappears with forward bending. It may be compensatory for other
abnormalities such as leg length discrepancy
Structural Scoliosis - CORRECT ANSWER -is fixed; the curvature shows both on
standing and on bending forward. Note hip hump woth forward flexion -- common
in young girls (age 10)
Nerve - CORRECT ANSWER -is a bundle of fibers outside the CNS
The peripheral nerves carry input to the CNS via.. - CORRECT ANSWER -Afferent
fibers
The peripheral nerves carry output from the CNS via... - CORRECT ANSWER -
Efferent fibers
,deep tendon reflex - CORRECT ANSWER -(myotatic) patellar or knee jerk
superficial reflex - CORRECT ANSWER -(corneal reflex, abdominal reflex)
Visceral (organic) reflex - CORRECT ANSWER -pupillary response to light and
accommodation
Pathologic (abnormal) reflex - CORRECT ANSWER -Babinski reflex
Olfactory (Cranial nerve I) - CORRECT ANSWER -smell
Optic (Cranial nerve II) - CORRECT ANSWER -vision
Oculomotor (Cranial nerve III) - CORRECT ANSWER -most EOM movement, and

Shingles showing on dermatome... - CORRECT ANSWER -Viruses that infect spinal
nerves, such as herpes zoster infections (shingles), can reveal their origin by

dormant in the dorsal root ganglion, migrates along the spinal nerve to affect only
the area of skin served by that nerve.
