Speech-Language Pathology Praxis Review - Correct
Answers ✅This study set was adapted from the user Anetz's
practice set. She stated the following:
"This study set has at least 500 cards gleaned from as many
SLP Praxis sets available on Quizlet as of August 2016. Then I
added more as I studied various practice Praxis tests. Feel
free to import this set into your own account so you can
change personalize it.
This comes with no guarantees that it is 100% accurate!
Check everything, and good luck!
Btw, I did pass the praxis."
As I have been studying, I have been confirming the
information and insuring all information from the Advanced
Review of Speech-Language Pathology Fourth Edition has
been included. Subject areas that have been confirmed will
include a "*confirmed*" in the subject heading.
NEUROANATOMY AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGY: THE NERVOUS
SYSTEM (pg. 25-56) - Correct Answers ✅NEUROANATOMY
AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGY: THE NERVOUS SYSTEM- *confirmed*
Efferent/afferent neurons - Correct Answers ✅transmit info
away from brain (motor)/bring info to brain (sensory)
,SLP Praxis Review Exam Questions and
Answers (Most Recent Version, Complete
Study Material)
Nerve cells endings - Correct Answers ✅Dendrites - receive
signals
Axons - send signal on
Microglia - Correct Answers ✅Scavengers to remove dead
cells and other waste in brain
Autonomic nervous system - Correct Answers
✅Components:
Sympathetic nervous system
Parasympathetic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system - Correct Answers ✅Activates
fight or flight response
Parasympathetic nervous system - Correct Answers
✅Returns body to state of relaxation
Pyramidal system vs Extrapyramidal - Correct Answers ✅P:
direct motor activation pathway, voluntary movement,
directly signals nerve cells in spine or brainstem (fast, skilled,
conscious movements)
E: maintains posture and tone for voluntary movements,
indirectly regulates LMN movement activity (slow, postural,
reflexive movements)
,SLP Praxis Review Exam Questions and
Answers (Most Recent Version, Complete

Damage results in involuntary and bizarre movement
disorders; indirectly regulates nerve cells in spine or
brainstem
Both are motor pathways. E is called that to distinguish it
from the pyramidal system that reaches target locations by
traveling through the 'pyramids' of the medulla.
Extrapyramidal composition - Correct Answers
✅Subcortical nuclei: red nucleus, substantia nigra,
subthalamus, basal ganglia, and their pathways
Pyramidal system componenets - Correct Answers
✅Projection fibers from cortex divide into:
Corticobulbar tract
Corticospinal tract
Corticobulbar tract - Correct Answers ✅Control all
voluntary muscles of speech (except respiratory)
Decussate (cross) at brainstem where CN's III-XII transition
from UMN to LMN
With the exception of lower muscles of facial expression, all
functions of the corticobulbar tract involve inputs from both
sides of the brain.

Corticospinal tract - Correct Answers ✅Descend from
motor cortex through the internal capsule, continue through
midbrain and pons (UMN)
Decussate at the medulla, 80-85%, causing contralateral
control
After medulla they are LMN but no longer corticospinal tract
Lower motor neurons - Correct Answers ✅Motor neurons in
the spinal and cranial nerves
Peripheral nervous system
Upper motor neurons - Correct Answers ✅Motor fibers
within the central nervous system
Cerebrum - Correct Answers ✅Referred to as "gray matter"
Topmost portion of the brain (six layers)
Four lobes in the left and four lobes in the right
Lobes - Correct Answers ✅Frontal
Parietal
Temporal
Occipital
