Sensational Somatosensation
This type of pain is long lasting, not fully understood, and may not have a clearly defined tissue pathology
What is chronic pain?
This portion of the eye is a little ditch in the retina that has a higher portion of cones than rods
What is the Macula Lutea?
This structure represents the boundary between the external and middle ear
What is the Tympanic Membrane?
What are the semicircular canals?
A bleed of the middle meningeal artery would cause blood to accumulate in this space
What is the Epidural Space?
This is the location of the 1st order cell bodies in the Trigeminal pathways sensing light touch and pain
What is the Trigeminal Ganglion?
This type of cell is completely contained within the retina and transmits information from the rods and cones to the 2nd order neurons
What is a Bipolar cell or 1st order neuron?
This frequency of sound is better sensed at the base of the cochlea
What is high frequency?
You ride an elevator, causing this portion of the vestibular apparatus to sense your upward movement
What is the saccule?
Autonomic Dysreflexia typically occurs in patients that have a lesion above this spinal level
What is T6?
This is the location of the 3rd order cell bodies in the Trigeminal pathways sensing light touch and pain
What is the Thalamus?
This is the location of the 3rd order neuron cell body in the visual pathway
What is the Lateral Geniculate Body?
This concept is "the organized representation of a specific frequency of sound at specific components of each auditory processing structure" and is present at all levels of the auditory system
What is Tonotopic Organization?
You suspect your patient has BPPV, leading you to perform this special test
What is the Dix-Hallpike Test?
This is the Brodmann's number for the primary visual cortex, as well as an age that Zac Efron wants to be (again)
What is 17?
This type of central sensitization is when pain signals are up-regulated
What is Hyperalgesia?
A patient with Bitemporal Hemianopsia could have damage to this structure within the visual pathway
What is the Optic Chiasm?
What is the Organ of Corti?
During a head turn to the Right, this vestibular apparatus (R or L) would increase its discharge of neuron action potentials, leading the eyes to turn this way (R or L)
What is the Right vestibular apparatus and turning the eyes to the Left?
This opening in the skull is the pathway the Facial (CN VII) and Vestibulocochlear (CN VIII) nerves travel through
What is the Internal Acoustic Meatus?
This type of central sensitization is when non-painful stimuli causes pain (e.g. putting on socks can cause pain)
What is Allodynia?
A patient with Left Homonymous Superior Quadratic Anopsia could have damage to this gyrus of the brain
What is the Right Inferior Calcarine Gyrus?
These 3 tiny bones reside in the Middle ear
What are the Malleus, Incus, and Stapes?
This is where the sense organ is located in the semicircular canal
What is the ampula?
This type of nerve fiber innervates the extrafusal fibers as part of the monosynaptic stretch reflex
What is an alpha motor neuron?
