front 4 The main functions of the temporal lobe are: | back 4 auditory processing, memory, and language comprehension |
front 5 After an action potential, resting levels of ion concentrations are restored when: | back 5 The Na+/K+ pump moves sufficient numbers of Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell |
front 6 Someone with brainstem damage would be expected to have all the functional impairments EXCEPT: | back 6 slowed relay of sexual hormones |
front 7 A person's acetylcholine (ACh) receptors are impacted, and the ACh is not connecting to the ligand-gated membrane channels on the post-synaptic surface. Which of the following functional presentations would you most likely expect? | back 7 They report their arms get really tired when curling their entire head of hair with a curling iron. |
front 8 The dendrites of a neuron receive three (3) signals from neighboring neurons. Two (2) of the signals are inhibitory post-synaptic potentials and one (1) is an excitatory post-synaptic potentials. Assuming that the magnitude of the signals are equal, what would be the resulting effect on the receiving neuron? | back 8 The sum of the post-synaptic potentials is negative, so the receiving neuron would hyperpolarize. |
front 9 Which of the following would have the SLOWEST velocity of an action potential? | back 9 an unmyelinated neuron with a small diameter axon |
front 10 Which one of the following statements is INCOREECT? | back 10 serotonin is important to inhibit the perception of pain. |
front 11 Mary is working with you in an outpatient clinic. You notice she has difficulty identifying items in her pocket, despite typical (i.e., intact) light touch sensory testing? What is the MOST LIKELY area of impairment in the nervous system? | back 11 Secondary sensory areas |
front 12 Joe is seeing OT in outpatient therapy. He is struggling with slow movements and a mild hand tremor. What is the MOST LIKELY structure impacting function? | back 12 Basal ganglia |
front 13 A person is washing dishes. The water finally heats up and becomes very hot. What pathway allows the person to quickly remove their hand from the hot water? | back 13 Spinothalamic |
front 14 Your client has damage to the post-central gyrus. What is the MOST LIKELY functional impairment you'll see? | back 14 Poor light touch and vibration sensation |
front 15 Your client has difficulty with typing and impaired sensation to the dorsal side of their hand (i.e., back of thumb, palm, and ring finger). Which nerve are you MOST concerned has been impacted? | back 15 Radial |
front 16 If someone has an impairment to the left precentral gyrus, what functional presentation would you most likely expect? | back 16 difficulty unlocking a door with a key in their dominant right hand |
front 17 A drummer sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) from a motor vehicle accident (MVA) and is now working with OT in an outpatient setting. She reports that her strength, endurance, and tolerance for loud noises has improved when she's practicing playing the drums; however, she states that it's still difficult to get the timing of her drum beats in sync. What area is MOST LIKELY impaired for this client currently? | back 17 cerebellum |
front 18 A person's lateral spinal cord at C4 has been impacted by a stab wound on the right side. The injury is isolated only to the most lateral aspect of the right ventral horn. Which functional impairment would you MOST LIKELY expect to see? | back 18 difficulty with finger movements on the right side |
front 19 Someone with an upper motor neuron impairment would present with all of the following EXCEPT: | back 19 flaccidity |
front 20 A person has a lesion on the right dorsal column of their spinal cord at C6. What functional impairment would you MOST LIKELY expect to see with this individual? | back 20 difficulty feeling the keyboard bump on the "J" key with their right index finger |
front 21 The _________ is a region of the brain that plays an important role in motor control. It may also be involved in some cognitive functions such as attention and language, and in regulating fear and pleasure responses, but its movement-related functions are the most solidly established. The _________ does not initiate movement, but it contributes to coordination, precision, and accurate timing. | back 21 Cerebellum |
front 22 You hit your leg on the coffee table, and feel a sharp pain in your shin. Along which sensory pathway is this sensation MOST LIKELY carried? | back 22 Spinothalamic |
front 23 Which of the following sites are MOST COMMON for development of a brachial nerve compression? | back 23 Scalene compression, Pectoralis minor compression, Subclavicular compression, Trapezius compression |
