normal: - correct answer- Median sensory NCS
A familiar type of monosynaptic reflex that monitors and regulates the
length of skeletal muscles is the: - correct answer- stretch reflex
,A HFF of 500hz on a sensory NCS would cause the onset latency to: -
correct answer- Stay the same
A lesion of the ulnar never at guyon's canal, before it splits into the
superficial and deep branch, will NOT cause the following: - correct
answer- Sensory loss over the medial dorsal hand
A median SNAP to the long finger is recorded in a patient with a
suspected median neuropathy at the wrist. No waveform is seen after
multiple attempts. Which of the following would be the LEAST useful
next step. - correct answer- Increasing the low frequency filter
A nerve that ca frequently be compressed against the bony structures in
the lower limb, the nerve that rests against the head and neck of the
fibula is the: - correct answer- The common Peroneal nerve

pinch the skin between the big toe and 2nd toe which nerve is being
checked? - correct answer- The deep peroneal nerve
A synaps is: - correct answer- A space between two neurological
components that function to propagate an electrical impulse through
the process of chemical excitation.
