| 2026/2027 | Answers Correct | With Complete Solutions
Injury to Occipital Lobe
- defects in vision or blind spots
- blurred vision
- visual illusions/ hallucinations
- difficulty reading and writing
Injury to Temporal Lobe
- difficulty understanding language and speaking
- difficulty recognizing faces
- difficulty identifying/ naming objects
- problems w/ short and long term memory
- changes in sexual behavior
- increased aggressive behavior
Wernicke's Area
controls language reception - a brain area involved in language
comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe
Broca's Area
Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe,
usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle
movements involved in speech.
Aphasia
inability to speak
, Aphasia Expressive
affects Broca's area. cannot produce language
Aphasia Receptive
affects the Wernicke's area. difficulty understanding language
TIA
transient ischemic attack (mini stroke)
TIA Signs & Symptoms
-directly related to the location of the ischemia; short episodes of
impaired function, muscle weakness, visual disturbances,
numbness, transient aphasia, confusion
-attack may last a few minutes or longer but rarely longer than
1-2 hours
Stroke
damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply
Ischemic Stroke
a stroke where the blood loss is caused by a blockage
Hemorrhagic Stroke
