A 16 y/o left hand dominant male has been referred to OT. While skateboarding eight (8) weeks ago he sustained a closed head injury, and a left shoulder dislocation. The evaluation indicates that he is having difficulty with tasting and smelling food. Strength measurements to his left upper extremity indicate moderate weakness and numbness and tingling throughout his arm and fingers. His inability to taste food may indicate an injury to:
(a) Occipital lobe
(b) Temporal Lobe
(c) Parietal lobe
(d) Frontal lobe
(b) Temporal Lobe
This region handles visual sensory reception and visual interpretation data.
(a) Parietal Lobe
(b) Occipital Lobe
(c) Temporal Lobe
(d) Frontal Lobe
(b) Occipital Lobe
A function of a neuron's myelin sheath is to:
(a) Increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction
(b) Disperse nerve impulses
(c) Decrease the speed of nerve impulse conduction
(d) Transmit impulses from neuron to neuron
(a) Increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction
