Severe whiplash, or acceleration flexion-extension neck injury, may
cause numbness, tingling, or weakness in an accident victim�s arms.
Most injuries happen in the C_5 and C_6 region. Which nerve plexus
would this injury most likely involve?
brachial
A Morton�s (plantar) neuroma is a foot condition due to swelling of
the common plantar digital nerve. It can cause excruciating pain felt
between the third and fourth metatarsal bones when walking. Which of
the following would NOT be a factor responsible for this disorder?
nerve thinning

Which of the receptor types contributes to the sense of touch by
responding to light pressure?
E
Which type of sensory receptor allows us to feel an insect landing on
our skin?
mechanoreceptor
The sensory division of the PNS is also known as the efferent division.
False
Afferent flows towards the CNS (Sensory). Efferent flows away from
the CNS.
Sensory stimuli that activate receptors generate action potentials
that are sent into the CNS.
False
Sensory stimuli that activate receptors generate graded potentials
in the receptor cell. These graded potentials ultimately pass the
message on to a sensory neuron. If the graded potential is strong
enough at the axon hillock it triggers an action potential that
continues on to the CNS.
__________ are receptors that can respond to painful stimuli
Nociceptors
Which of the following is NOT used to classify sensory receptors?
the number of dendritic endings present
__________ do NOT exhibit the property of adaptation.
Tonic receptors
Tonic receptors provide a sustained response with little or no
adaptation. Nociceptors and most proprioceptors are tonic receptors
because of the protective importance of the information.
Which connective tissue layer directly surrounds every axon in a nerve?
endoneurium
Which of the following is NOT correct concerning nerves?
Nerves are collection of axons of either sensory or motor neurons but
not both.
CNS nerve fibers regenerate because of the actions of Schwann cells.
False
PNS nerve fibers regenerate because of the actions of Schwann cells,
Not CNS.
Choose the FALSE statement about nerves.
Axons make up a majority of the matter in a nerve.
Which of the following cranial nerves carries only motor information?
abducens
Which cranial nerve innervates most of the visceral organs?
vagus
Which cranial nerve transmits information about audition?
vestibulocochlear
What pair is incorrect?
CN IV - sensory
Which of the following carries no sensory information?
hypoglossal nerve
Damage to the ulnar nerve could result in the inability to ______.
flex the wrist
A herniated lumbar disc could interfere with ______.
All of the listed responses are correct.
Sciatica has no direct affect on ______.
control of the adductor longus
A knee-jerk reflex that is unusually strong may be caused by ______.
transmission of excitatory signals from the brain to the neurons that
form the femoral nerve
Gluteal innervation comes from which plexus?
sacral
Spinal nerves are all classified as __________.
mixed nerves.
The phrenic nerve is a branch from the __________.
cervical plexus
A dermatome represents the motor innervation of muscles in that area.
FALSE
In carpal tunnel syndrome, the __________ is compressed.
median
Which of the following is NOT required for a reflex arc?
interneurons
