True or false : A hemorragic stroke is caused by uncontrolled bleeding in the brain.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when there is uncontrolled bleeding in the brain. This can happen due to a ruptured blood vessel or an aneurysm. The bleeding puts pressure on the brain, causing damage to the surrounding tissues and cells. This type of stroke is less common than an ischemic stroke, which is caused by a blockage in a blood vessel. However, a hemorrhagic stroke can be more severe and have a higher risk of complications. Therefore, the statement "A hemorrhagic stroke is caused by uncontrolled bleeding in the brain" is true.
3.
What is the basic function of the Spinal Cord?
Correct Answer
B. The Spinal Cord is connected to the peripHeral nervous system
Explanation
The correct answer is that the spinal cord connects the spinal nerves to the brain and organizes reflexes and rhythmic movements. This is the basic function of the spinal cord, as it serves as a pathway for communication between the brain and the rest of the body. It also plays a crucial role in coordinating reflexes and controlling rhythmic movements such as walking or breathing.
4.
"žThe brain is divided into" _____________". that are connected by the "______________". The brain and the body are crisscrossed ž
Correct Answer
two hemispheres
corpus callosum
Explanation
The brain is divided into two hemispheres that are connected by the corpus callosum. This means that the brain is separated into two halves, with each hemisphere having its own specialized functions. The corpus callosum acts as a bridge between the two hemispheres, allowing them to communicate and share information. This connection is crucial for the coordination and integration of different brain functions.
5.
Are all of these characterictics representitive of a Neuron's main function?
-
Fire at Various Rates
-
Are building blocks for the nervous system
-
žreceive different types of stimulation, most often from signals from other neurons
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The given characteristics are representative of a neuron's main function. Neurons have the ability to fire at various rates, which allows them to transmit information and signals throughout the nervous system. They are the building blocks of the nervous system, forming the network that allows for communication and coordination within the body. Neurons also receive different types of stimulation, primarily from signals sent by other neurons. These characteristics collectively describe the main functions of a neuron.
6.
Fill in the blank. Parts of a neuron have been associated with other word to help characterise them. What best describes these parts of a neuron?
a) Dendrites ___________
b) Soma ____________
c) Axon _____________
d) Myelin ____________
Correct Answer
branch-like structures and receives signals
all the information collected by the dendrites converge in the soma, which processes this information
the signal fired travels through the axon. The axons talk to 3 different targets
Axons are covered by a myelin sheet. Myelin insulate the axon, thereby improving the strengths and speed of the signal
Explanation
The parts of a neuron are described as follows:
a) Dendrites are branch-like structures that receive signals.
b) Soma (also known as the cell body) processes the information collected by the dendrites.
c) Axon is responsible for transmitting the signal fired by the neuron and can communicate with multiple targets.
d) Myelin is a sheet that covers the axon, providing insulation and enhancing the strength and speed of the signal.
7.
In class , we have examined various lobes and thier function. Which lobes are related to these fuctions?
a) Concern with vision
b) Concerin with the reception and processing sensory information from the body
c) Concerned with memory , emotions , hearing and language
Correct Answer
Occipital Lobe
Partiel Lobe
Temporal Lobe
Explanation
The correct answer is Occipital Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe. The occipital lobe is responsible for vision, the parietal lobe is involved in receiving and processing sensory information from the body, and the temporal lobe is responsible for memory, emotions, hearing, and language.
8.
What are the correct treatments for Delirium?

What the is the correct intervention strategy for a college student with Asperger ?
Correct Answer
B. Being a Part time student and having the appropriate accomodations
Explanation
The correct intervention strategy for a college student with Asperger's is to be a part-time student and provide them with appropriate accommodations. Asperger's is a developmental disorder that affects social interaction and communication skills. Being a part-time student can help reduce the stress and overwhelm that may come with a full course load. Additionally, providing accommodations such as extra time for assignments and exams, preferential seating, or access to support services can help the student succeed academically and navigate the challenges associated with their condition.
13.
How do I tell an adult that they might have Asperger?
