Name the Rotator Cuff Muscles and point to them on body

Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor & Subscapularis  

100
Normal blood pressure or normal blood pressure range 

120/80 mmHg

range: 90/60-120/80 mmHg

100
The act of moving air in and out of the alveoli 

Ventilation

100

What fibres link matching areas of the two hemispheres. Hint: The corpus callosum is the largest of these fibres

Commissural fibres

200

Resisted lateral rotation with the elbow at 90 deg can test the strength of which muscles? There are two answers, one will suffice. 

Teres Minor and Infraspinatus 

200

Normal respiratory rate (RR)

12-16 breath cycles 

200

Where zone does gas exchange between the air and blood occur 

Respiratory zone
200

The brain stem consists of?

Midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata 

300

Pain or weakness while performing the Empty Can Test could indicate a tear or impingement of what muscle?

Supraspinatus

300

Partial pressure of Oxygen 

Partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide

11-14 kPa

4.5-6.0 kPa

300

Why do people recommend breathing into a paper bag when they are having a panic attack?

Hyperventilating = more CO2 expelled. The paper bag helps them to inhale the lost CO2 to decrease blood pH back to normal

300

Which tract conveys impulses concerned with muscle tone to the lateral columns of the spinal cord? 

Bonus 50 pts: Is this a motor or sensory pathway?

Bonus 50 pts: Where in the midbrain does this pathway originate?

Rubrospinal tract

motor pathway (descending) 

originates in Red Nucleus in posterior midbrain 

400

C6, C7 and C8 form the Thoracodorsal nerve, what muscle is innervated by this nerve?

Latissimus Dorsi

400

Bicarbonate plasma levels

22-26 mmol/L

400

Would acute pneumonia fall under Type 1 or Type 2 respiratory failure and what can we assume based on the levels of PaO2 and PaCO2 compared to normal?

Type 1: cannot bring air across respiratory membrane

low O2

normal CO2

400

Drooping eyelids can be associated with a lesion in which cranial nerve? Bonus 50 pts if you can provide the name of the CN

CN III - oculomotor nerve 

500

Origin: Inferior angle and lateral border of scapula

Insertion: medial lip of bicepital groove

What is this muscle?

Teres major

500

If someone had pulmonary acidosis, what changes can you expect to see in their PaO2, PaCO2 and Bicarbonate levels compared to normal

PaO2 - same 

PaCO2 - increase 

Blood pH- decrease

500

Patients with ___ lung disease have decreased FEV1/FVC ratio, and can be as low as 20-30%. Whereas patients with ____ lung diseases have a near-normal FEV1/FVC ratio.

 Recall, FEV1/FVC is the percentage of the vital capacity which is expired in the first second of maximal expiration

obstructive

restrictive

Ascending tracts carry sensory signals via 3 neurons. Describe where each neuron starts and stops in the Lateral Spinothalamic Tract 

1st order: peripheral nerve from sensory receptor to spinal cord level via dorsal horn

2nd order: crosses spinal cord level and travels through the medulla to the thalamus 

3rd order: thalamus to the primary sensory cortex
