Quiz 1 Flashcards
(40 cards)
What happens with damage to the left parietal lobe?
- Agraphia
- Alexia
- Agnosia (contralateral sensory deficits)
What is the primary function of the Temporal lobe?
- Language
- Memory
Determine equality and size of pupils; reaction to light; presence of strabismus (loss of ocular alignment); ability of eyes to follow a moving target without head movement; presence of ptosis of eyelid.
Cranial nerves III, IV, and VI: Oculomotor, Trochlear, Abducens
With tongue protruded, examine ability to move tongue rapidly from side to side.
Cranial nerve XII: Hypoglossal
Examine olfactory acuity using non-noxious odors such as lemon oil, coffee, cloves or tobacco.
Cranial nerve I: Olfactory
What is the primary function of the Occipital lobe?
- Visual Cortex
What cranial nerves are mixed motor, facial (somatovisceral)?
CN 5,7,9,10
Where is the beginning of the motor peripheral nervous system located?
Anterior Horn of spinal cord
Examine strength of the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.
Cranial nerve XI: Spinal Accessory
Examine visual acuity using a Snellen chart; both central and peripheral vision is tested.
Cranial nerve II: Optics
Examine swallowing; observe uvula and soft palate for any asymmetry (tongue depressor).
Cranial nerve X: Vagus
What is the Cranial Nerve: Turns head, lifts shoulders
CN 11 (Spinal Accessory)
Examine any asymmetry of face at rest and during voluntary contraction.
Cranial nerve VII: Facial
Where are the cell bodies located for the sensory system?
Dorsal Root Ganglion
What is the Cranial Nerve: Moves tongue
CN 12 (Hypoglossal)
Sensory tests of face (sharp/dull discrimination, light touch); open and close jaw against resistance; jaw jerk reflex.
Cranial Nerve V: Trigeminal
Which cranial nerves are sensory
CN 1 (Olfactory) CN 2 (Optic) CN 8 (Vestibulocochlear)
What is the primary function of the Parietal lobe?
- Sensory
- Language
( post central gyrus)
What is the Cranial Nerve: Eye movement; Pupil constriction, accommodates?
CN 3 (Oculomotor - Pupil Constriction) CN 4 (Trochlear - Accomodates) CN 6 (Abducens - Eye movement)
What disease is present in a stocking like distribution?
Artherosclerosis —–> PAD, Venous insufficiency, and diabetes mellitus
Name the 12 Cranial Nerves…
- Olfactory
- Optic
- Oculomotor
- Trochlear
- Trigeminal
- Abducens
- Facial
- Auditory
- Glosspharyngeal
- Vagus
- Spinal Accessory
- Hypoglossal
Which cranial nerves are motor?
CN 3,4,6,11,12
Test auditory acuity using a vibrating tuning fork (Weber test) placed on vertex of skull or forehead, patient indicates on which side the tone is louder; rub fingers together at a distance and gradually bring toward patient, note distance when first heard; alter volume of conversation; Rinne test (conductive hearing loss) vibrating tuning fork placed on mastoid process, then near external ear canal, note hearing acuity.
Cranial nerve VIII: (Vestibulocochlear)
What is the Cranial Nerve: Smell
CN1 (Olfactory)
