SYNOPSIS OF PSYCHIATRY EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
LATEST TOP SCORE.
George Engel answer >> Modern psychiatrist who influenced the biopsychosocial
approach
10^11 answer >> of neurons in the brain
10^12 answer >> of glial cells in the brain
Astrocytes answer >> The most common type of glial cells - provide nutrition of
neurons, deactivation of some neurotransmitters, and integration with the blood-
brain barrier
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells answer >> Produce myelin around axons
-Oligodendrocytes- CNS
-Schwann Cells-PNS
Microglia answer >> Act as phagocytes, eating damaged cells and bacteria, act as
the brains immune system - derived from macrophages
Light touch, pressure, pain, temperature, vibration, and proprioception answer >>
The six somatosensory modalities
, SYNOPSIS OF PSYCHIATRY
Pathway of somatosensory information processing answer >> Somatosensory
information - two point discrimination, tactile sense (fine touch), vibratory sense,
kinesthetic sense, muscle tension, joint position sense - fasciculi gracilize and
conatus - VPL nucleus of the thalamus - Somatosensory cortex (Brodmann's areas
3,1, and 2)
Somatosensory information - pain, temperature, coarse touch, deep pressure -
spinothalamic tract - VPL, VPI, intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus -
Somatosensory cortex, Prefrontal cortex, Anterior cingulate gyrus, Striatum, S-11
Tactile agnosia answer >> Clinical syndrome defined by the inability to recognize
objects based on touch, despite the primary somatosensory modalities being
intact. Localized to the border of the somatosensory and association areas in the
posterior parietal lobe
Lines of a specific orientation answer >> What the primary visual cortex responds
to
Particular movements of lines and angles answer >> What the secondary visual
cortex responds to
The inferior temporal lobe in the visual system answer >> Determines the "what"
questions - shape, form, and color
The posterior parietal lobe in the visual system answer >> Determines the
"where" questions - location, motion, and distance
