What role does the thalamus play in sensory information?

A. accepts information and transmits it

B. nothing, the basal ganglia is responsible for sensory information

C. only responsible for transmitting information from basal ganglia

Pt presents with damage to the posterior, inferior, frontal lobe. Speech is  nonfluent, with intact comprehension and poor repetition. What is a secondary effect within our scope of practice that we might see? 

A. impaired pitch

B. vocal nodules

C. swallowing difficulties

D. diaschisis

C. swallowing difficulties

The posterior, inferior, frontal lobe is broca's area. Broca's location is close to the lips, tongue, gums, and jaw on the motor homonculus. If there are deficits with Broca's area, swallowing deficits may be secondary.

Pt. presents with CVA in left MCA due to a blockage that traveled from another location. What type of stroke is this?


A. hemmoragic

B. thrombotic

C. embolism

D. TIA

C. embolism

  • Embolic Stroke- when a blood clot or debris (embolus) travels from one part of the body and lodges in a narrower brain artery, blocking blood flow to the brain.
