What does the molecular similarity of stevia to glucose mean for the gustatory sense?Why does the blind spot from the optic disc in either eye not result in a blind spot in the visual field?Following a motorcycle accident, the victim loses the ability to move the right leg but has normal control over the left one, suggesting a hemisection somewhere in the thoracic region of the spinal cord. What sensory deficits would be expected in terms of touch versus pain? Explain your answer.A pituitary tumor can cause perceptual losses in the lateral visual field. The pituitary gland is located directly inferior to the hypothalamus. Why would this happen?The prefrontal lobotomy is a drastic—and largely out-of-practice—procedure used to disconnect that portion of the cerebral cortex from the rest of the frontal lobe and the diencephalon as a psychiatric therapy. Why would this have been thought necessary for someone with a potentially uncontrollable behavior?If a reflex is a limited circuit within the somatic system, why do physical and neurological exams include them to test the health of an individual?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/fightflight) to learn more about adrenaline and the fightor-flight response. When someone is said to have a rush of adrenaline, the image of bungee jumpers or skydivers usually comes to mind. But adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is an important chemical in coordinating the bodys fight-or-flight response. In this video, you look inside the physiology of the fight-or-flight response, as envisioned for a firefighter. His bodys reaction is the result of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system causing system-wide changes as it prepares for extreme responses. What two changes does adrenaline bring about to help the skeletal muscle response?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervsystem1) to learn more about the nervous system. As described in this video, the nervous system has a way to deal with threats and stress that is separate from the conscious control of the somatic nervous system. The system comes from a time when threats were about survival, but in the modern age, these responses become part of stress and anxiety. This video describes how the autonomic system is only part of the response to threats, or stressors. What other organ system gets involved, and what part of the brain coordinates the two systems for the entire response, including epinephrine (adrenaline) and cortisol?Read this article (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/strokespell) to learn about a teenager who experiences a series of spells that suggest a stroke. He undergoes endless tests and seeks input from multiple doctors. In the end, one expert, one question, and a simple blood pressure cuff answers the question. Why would the heart have to beat faster when the teenager changes his body position from lying down to sitting, and then to standing?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/pupillary) to learn about the pupillary reflexes. The pupillary light reflex involves sensory input through the optic nerve and motor response through the oculomotor nerve to the ciliary ganglion, which projects to the circular fibers of the iris. As shown in this short animation, pupils will constrict to limit the amount of light falling on the retina under bright lighting conditions. What constitutes the afferent and efferent branches of the competing reflex (dilation)?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/emotions) to learn about physical responses to emotion. The autonomic system, which is important for regulating the homeostasis of the organ systems, is also responsible for our physiological responses to emotions such as fear. The video summarizes the extent of the body’s reactions and describes several effects of the autonomic system in response to fear. On the basis of what you have already studied about autonomic function, which effect would you expect to be associated with parasympathetic, rather than sympathetic, activity?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/3Dmovies) to learn about the side effects of 3-D movies. As discussed in this video, movies that are shot in 3-D can cause motion sickness, which elicits the autonomic symptoms of nausea and sweating. The disconnection between the perceived motion on the screen and the lack of any change in equilibrium stimulates these symptoms. Why do you think sitting close to the screen or right in the middle of the theater makes motion sickness during a 3-D movie worse?Which of these physiological changes would not be considered part of the sympathetic fight-or-flight response? increased heart rate increased sweating dilated pupils increased stomach motilityWhich type of fiber could be considered the longest? preganglionic parasympathetic preganglionic sympathetic postganglionic parasympathetic postganglionic sympatheticWhich signaling molecule is most likely responsible for an increase in digestive activity? epinephrine norepinephrine acetylcholine adrenalineWhich of these cranial nerves contains preganglionic parasympathetic fibers? optic, CN II facial, CN VII trigeminal, CN V hypoglossal, CN XIIWhich of the following is not a target of a sympathetic preganglionic fiber? intennural ganglion collateral ganglion adrenal gland chain ganglionWhich of the following represents a sensory input that is not part of both the somatic and autonomic systems? vision taste bar deception proprioceptionWhat is the term for a reflex that does not include a CNS component? long reflex visceral reflex somatic reflex short reflexWhat neurotransmitter will result in constriction of the pupil? norepinephrine acetylcholine epinephrine serotoninWhat gland produces a secretion that causes fight-or flight responses in effectors? adrenal medulla salivatory gland reproductive gland thymusWhich of the following is an incorrect pairing? norepinephrine dilates the pupil epinephrine increases blood pressure acetylcholine decreases digestion norepinephrine increases heart rateWhich of these locations in the forebrain is the master control center for homeostasis through the autonomic and endocrine systems? hypothalamus thalamus amygdala cerebral cortexWhich nerve projects to the hypothalamus to indicate the level of light stimuli in the retina? glossopharyngeal oculomotor optic vagusWhat region of the limbic lobe is responsible for generating stress responses via the hypothalamus? hippocampus amygdala mammillary bodies prefrontal cortexWhat is another name for the preganglionic sympathetic fibers that project to the heart? solitary tract vas o motor nerve vagus nerve cardiac accelerator nerveWhat central fiber tract connects forebrain and brain stem structures with the hypothalamus? cardiac accelerator nerve medial forebrain bundle dorsal longitudinal fasciculus corticospinal tractA drag that affects both divisions of the autonomic system is going to bind to, or block, which type of neurotransmitter receptor? a. nicotinic b. muscarinic c. -adrenergic d. -adrenergicA drug is called an agonist if it ________. blocks a receptor interferes with neurotransmitter reuptake acts like the endogenous neurotransmitter by binding to its receptor blocks the voltage-gated calcium ion channelWhich type of drug would be an antidote to atropine poisoning? nicotinic agonist anticholinergic muscarinic agonist blockerWhich kind of ding would have anti-anxiety effects? nicotinic agonist anticholinergic muscarinic agonist blockerWhich type of drug could be used to treat asthma by opening airways wider? sympatholytic drug sympathomimetic drug anticholinergic drug parasympathomimetic drugIn the context of a lioness hunting on the savannah, why would the sympathetic system not activate the digestive system?A target effector, such as the heart, receives input from the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. What is the actual difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions at the level of those connections (i.e., at the synapse)?Damage to internal organs will present as pain associated with a particular surface area of the body. Why would something like irritation to the diaphragm, which is between the thoracic and abdominal cavities, feel like pain in the shoulder or neck?Medical practice is paying more attention to the autonomic system in considering disease states. Why would autonomic tone be important in considering cardiovascular disease?Horners syndrome is a condition that presents with changes in one eye, such as pupillary constriction and dropping of eyelids, as well as decreased sweating in the face. Why could a tumor in the thoracic cavity have an effect on these autonomic functions?The cardiovascular center is responsible for regulating the heart and blood vessels through homeostatic mechanisms. What tone does each component of the cardiovascular system have? What connections does the cardiovascular center invoke to keep these two systems in their resting tone?Why does smoking increase the risk of heart disease? Provide two reasons based on autonomic function.Why might topical, cosmetic application of atropine or scopolamine from the belladonna plant not cause fatal poisoning, as would occur with ingestion of the plant?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neuroexam) that provides a demonstration of the neurological exam—a series of tests that can be performed rapidly when a patient is initially brought into an emergency department. The exam can be repeated on a regular basis to keep a record of how and if neurological function changes over time. In what order were the sections of the neurological exam tested in this video, and which section seemed to be left out?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neuroexam2) for an introduction to the neurological exam. Studying the neurological exam can give insight into how structure and function in the nervous system are interdependent. This is a tool both in the clinic and in the classroom, but for different reasons. In the clinic, this is a powerful but simple tool to assess a patient’s neurological function. In the classroom, it is a different way to think about the nervous system. Though medical technology provides noninvasive imaging and real-time functional data, the presenter says these cannot replace the history at the core of the medical examination. What does history mean in the context of medical practice?Read this article (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/3word) to learn about a young man who texts his fiancée in a panic as he finds that he is having trouble remembering things. At the hospital, a neurologist administers the mental status exam, which is mostly normal except for the three-word recall test. The young man could not recall them even 30 seconds after hearing them and repeating them back to the doctor. An undiscovered mass in the mediastinum region was found to be Hodgkins lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the immune system and likely caused antibodies to attack the nervous system. The patient eventually regained his ability to remember, though the events in the hospital were always elusive. Considering that the effects on memory were temporary, but resulted in the loss of the specific events of the hospital stay, what regions of the brain were likely to have been affected by the antibodies and what type of memory does that represent?Watch the video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2brains) titled The Man With Two Brains to see the neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga introduce a patient he has worked with for years who has had his corpus callosum cut, separating his two cerebral hemispheres. A few tests are run to demonstrate how this manifests in tests of cerebral function. Unlike normal people, this patient can perform two independent tasks at the same time because the lines of communication between the right and left sides of his brain have been removed. Whereas a person with an intact corpus callosum cannot overcome the dominance of one hemisphere over the other, this patient can. If the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant in the majority of people, why would right-handedness be most common?Watch this short video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/facialnerve) to see an examination of the facial nerve using some simple tests. The facial nerve controls the muscles of facial expression. Severe deficits will be obvious in watching someone use those muscles for normal control. One side of the face might not move like the other side. But directed tests, especially for contraction against resistance, require a formal testing of the muscles. The muscles of the upper and lower face need to be tested. The strength test in this video involves the patient squeezing her eyes shut and the examiner trying to pry her eyes open. Why does the examiner ask her to try a second time?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2point) to see a quick demonstration of two-point discrimination. Touching a specialized caliper to the surface of the skin will measure the distance between two points that are perceived as distinct stimuli versus a single stimulus. The patient keeps their eyes closed while the examiner switches between using both points of the caliper or just one. The patient then must indicate whether one or two stimuli are in contact with the skin. Why is the distance between the caliper points closer on the fingertips as opposed to the palm of the hand? And what do you think the distance would be on the arm, or the shoulder?Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/reflextest) to see how to test reflexes in the abdomen. Testing reflexes of the trunk is not commonly performed in the neurological exam, but if findings suggest a problem with the thoracic segments of the spinal cord, a series of superficial reflexes of the abdomen can localize function to those segments. If contraction is not observed when the skin lateral to the umbilicus (belly button) is stimulated, what level of the spinal cord may be damaged?Watch this short video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/stationtest) to see a test for station. Station refers to the position a person adopts when they are standing still. The examiner would look for issues with balance, which coordinates proprioceptive, vestibular, and visual information in the cerebellum. To test the ability of a subject to maintain balance, asking them to stand or hop on one foot can be more demanding. The examiner may also push the subject to see if they can maintain balance. An abnormal finding in the test of station is if the feet are placed far apart. Why would a wide stance suggest problems with cerebellar function?Which major section of the neurological exam is most likely to reveal damage to the cerebellum? cranial nerve exam mental status exam sensory exam coordination examWhat function would most likely be affected by a restriction of a blood vessel in the cerebral coitex? language gait facial expressions knee-jerk reflexWhich major section of the neurological exam includes subtests that are sometimes considered a separate set of tests concerned with walking? mental status exam cranial nerve exam coordination exam sensory examMemory, emotional, language, and sensorimotor deficits together are most likely the result of what kind of damage? stroke developmental disorder whiplash gunshot woundWhere is language function localized in the majority of people? cerebellum right cerebral hemisphere hippocampus left cerebral hemisphereWhich of the following could be elements of cyto architecture, as related to Brodmanns microscopic studies of the cerebral coitex? connections to the cerebellum activation by visual stimuli number of neurons per square millimeter number of gyri or sulciWhich of the following could be a multimodal integrative area? primary visual coitex premotor coitex hippocampus Wernickes areaWhich is an example of episodic memory? how to bake a cake your last birthday party how old you are needing to wear an oven mitt to take a cake out of the ovenWhich type of aphasia is more like hearing a foreign language spoken? receptive aphasia expressive aphasia conductive aphasia Brocas aphasiaWhat region of the cerebral cortex is associated with understanding language, both from another person and the language a person generates himself or herself? medial temporal lobe ventromedial prefrontal cortex superior temporal gyms postcentral gyrusWithout olfactory sensation to complement gustatory stimuli, food will taste bland unless it is seasoned with which substance? salt thyme garlic olive oilWhich of the following cranial nerves is not part of the VOR? optic oculomotor abducens vestibulocochlearWhich nerve is responsible for controlling the muscles that result in the gag reflex? trigeminal facial glossopharyngeal vagusWhich nerve is responsible for taste, as well as salivation, in the anterior oral cavity? facial glossopharyngeal vagus hypoglossalWhich of the following nerves controls movements of the neck? oculomotor vestibulocochlear spinal accessory hypoglossalWhich of the following is not part of the corticospinal pathway? cerebellar deep white matter midbrain medulla lateral columnWhich subtest is directed at proprioceptive sensation? two-point discrimination tactile movement vibration Romberg testWhat term describes the inability to lift the aim above the level of the shoulder? paralysis paresis fasciculation fibrillationWhich type of reflex is the jaw-jerk reflex that is part of the cranial nerve exam for the vestibulocochlear nerve? visceral reflex withdrawal reflex stretch reflex superficial reflexWhich of the following is a feature of both somatic and visceral senses? requires cerebral input causes skeletal muscle contraction projects to a ganglion near the target effector involves an axon in the ventral nerve rootWhich white matter structure carries information from the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum? cerebral peduncle superior cerebellar peduncle middle cerebellar peduncle inferior cerebellar peduncleWhich region of the cerebellum receives proprioceptive input from the spinal cord? vermis left hemisphere flocculonodular lobe right hemisphereWhich of the following tests cerebellar function related to gait? toe-to-finger station lah-kah-pah finger-to-noseWhich of the following is not a cause of cerebellar ataxia? mercury from fish chinking alcohol antibiotics hereditary degeneration of the cerebellumWhich of the following functions cannot be attributed to the cerebellum? comparing motor commands and sensory feedback associating sensory stimuli with learned behavior coordinating complex movements processing visual informationWhy is a rapid assessment of neurological function important in an emergency situation?How is the diagnostic category of TIA different from a stroke?A patients performance of the majority of the mental status exam subtests is in line with the expected norms, but the patient cannot repeat a string of numbers given by the examiner.
