Questions and Answers
Weber test - ANSWER✔✔-Test done by placing the stem of a vibrating tuning fork on the midline
of the head and having the patient indicate in which ear the tone can be heard.
Rinne test - ANSWER✔✔-hearing test using a tuning fork; checks for differences in bone
conduction and air conduction
Snellen chart - ANSWER✔✔-chart containing symbols that is used in the testing of visual acuity
50/20 vision - ANSWER✔✔-Below average: what patient sees letter at 20 ft is what normal
population sees at 50 ft
Ishihara test - ANSWER✔✔-tests for color vision
scratch test - ANSWER✔✔-type of allergy testing in which body is exposed to allergens through a
light scratch in skin
if a wheel occurs within the first 15 minutes, the allergist can identify the substance as a possible
allergen

attack and destroy the cells of the thyroid gland

from SA node, impulse travels to - ANSWER✔✔-AV node
AV node (atrioventricular node) - ANSWER✔✔-gatekeeper
from AV node impulse travels to - ANSWER✔✔-bundle of His & through bundle branches located
in the ventricular septum
after bundle of His and bundle branches where's last place electrical impulse reaches? -
