Getting on my nerves pt. 1
Getting on my nerves pt. 2
True/False
100

Twisted head/neck.

Torticollis

100

vision


II - Optic

100

sense of smell


I - Olfactory

100

Reflexes do not involve the brain.

(If false, explain how the brain is involved.)

True.

200

Dorsal flexion of the head and neck.

Opisthotonus

200

motor to the tongue

XII - Hypoglossal

200

Pupil constriction, upper lid, eye movement

III - Oculomotor

200

The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain and the spinal nerves.

(If false, what does the CNS include?)

False.

CNS includes the brain and spinal cord. 

300

Increased tone of the front legs, paralysis of pelvic limbs. 

Schiff-Sherington

300

(Acoustic) -- hearing and balance

VIII - Vestibulocochlear

300

motor to facial muscles and ears, sensory to anterior 2/3 of tongue

VII - Facial

300

An exaggerated reflex response in an effector muscle suggests damage above the spinal segment being tested and indicates lower motor neuron damage. 

False. Indicates upper motor neuron damage. 

LMN damage = decreased or absent reflex responses in an effector muscle and suggests damage within the spinal segment being tested

400

Conscious, rigid extension in front legs and flexion of pelvic limbs.

Decerebellate

400

sensory to the tongue, motor to the pharynx

IX - Glossopharyngeal

400

dorsal oblique muscles of the eye / normal eye position

IV - Trochlear

400

"Coma" = only responsive to strong stimuli such as pain. 

(If false, what is the correct term?)

"Stupor" = only responsive to strong stimuli such as pain.

"Coma" = no conscious response to stimuli. 

500

Unconscious, rigid extension of all 4 limbs. 

Decerebrate

500

Facial sensation, motor to muscles of mastication, blink.

V - Trigeminal 

500

neck muscles

XI - Accessory

500

Lower motor neurons send signals to upper motor neurons and upper motor neurons send signals directly to effector muscles. 

(If false, explain.)

False.

UMN send signals to LMN and LMN send signals directly to effector muscles. 

600

Dorsal curvature spine.

Kyphosis

600

eye position, eye muscles

VI - Abducens

600

motor / sensory to larynx, parasympathetic to organs in chest and abdomen. 

X - Vagus

600

Dachshunds, Toy Poodles, Beagles, and Dobermans are examples of dogs more likely to end up with disc disease.

(If false, explain.)

True.
