,Damage to Broca's area - correct answers ✅expressive aphasia - inability to produce language
Dysarthria - correct answers ✅slurred speech
Scotoma - correct answers ✅blind spot in vision
Ohms law - correct answers ✅the current in a circuit equals the voltage difference divided by the
resistance
V=IR
Coulomb's Law - correct answers ✅electric force between charged objects depends on the distance
between the objects and the magnitude of the charges.
Gelastic Seizures - correct answers ✅hypothalamic hamartoma
Brief periods of laughter
Symptoms of Hemorrhagic Stroke - correct answers ✅Exploding headache, decreased level of
consciousness, numbness/weakness on one side, vomitting, stiff neck (nochal rigidity - which is also
associated with Meningitis)
Symptoms of ischemic stroke - correct answers ✅Numbness of face, arm, leg (especially on one side).
Confusion, speech, seeing double or blurry, visual disturbances, trouble walking, perceptual problems

3
, empyema - correct answers ✅pus in the pleural cavity
Depolarization - correct answers ✅The process during the action potential when sodium is rushing into
the cell causing the interior to become more positive.
Repolarization - correct answers ✅Return of the cell to resting state, caused by reentry of potassium
into the cell while sodium exits the cell.
Rolandic fissure (central sulcus) - correct answers ✅fissure that divides frontal lobe from parietal lobe

each hemisphere; it is the location of most of the primary auditory cortex
Anoxia - correct answers ✅No oxygen
Hypoxia - correct answers ✅Reduced oxygen
PLEDS - correct answers ✅Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges. These are sharp complexes that
are non-reactive to stimulation and are more pronounced with drowsiness. Tend to occur with cerebral
infarction or severe damage.
nephrotic syndrome - correct answers ✅group of clinical signs and symptoms caused by excessive
protein loss in urine
Uncus - correct answers ✅on medial surface of temporal lobe (olfactory area)
trace' discontinue - correct answers ✅less than 30 weeks conceptual age
