QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS (VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS) |
GUARANTEED PASS A+ UPDATED THIS YEAR
Dermatomes - CORRECT ANSWER area of the skin that is mainly supplied by
branches of a single spinal sensory nerve root. These spinal sensory nerves enter the
nerve root at the spinal cord, and their branches reach to the periphery of the body.
QUESTION :Substance release at the synapse - CORRECT ANSWER
Acetylcholine- Excitatory or inhibitory- alzheimers
Norepi- Excitatory or inhibitory- sleep/wake cycle, SYNS transmission
Dopa- Excitatory (h1 and h2 receptors) and inhibitory (H3 receptors). parkinson disease
QUESTION :Spondylolysis - CORRECT ANSWER structural defect
(degeneration, fracture, or developmental defect) in the pars interarticularis of the
vertebral arch (the joining of the vertebral body to the posterior structures). The lumbar
spine at L5 is affected most often.
-Heredity
-Other congenital spinal defects

QUESTION :motor and sensory areas of the brain - CORRECT ANSWER Parietal
lobe- major area for somatic sensory input, located along the postcentral gyrus. which is
adjacent to the primary motor area in the precentral gyrus.
Primary motor area (Brodmann area 4)- located along the precentral gyrus forming the
primary voluntary motor area (homunculus) (little man).
Association fibers provide communication between sensory and motor
QUESTION :Ischemic penumbra - CORRECT ANSWER ischemic but not
infarcted (salvageable) tissue. Peri-infarct tissue.
-no structural damage
QUESTION :Cerebral infarction - CORRECT ANSWER ischemic- white infarct
(affected area is pale and soft 6-12 hours after). necrosis appears by 48 to 72 hours.
Infiltration of macrophages and phagocytosis of necrotic tissue. necrosis resolves
around the 2nd week. glial scarring.
