A bolus is formed by the ____? --------correct answer------Tongue
A patient had a CVA in the area indicated by the red x in the figure, below. What type of blindness is the
patient most likely to incur? Explain your reasoning. --------correct answer------Bilateral left visual field
blindness.
The right optic tract is damaged. All the sensory information from the left visual fields travels together
after the optic chiasm to the right side of the brain.
A patient has a brain tumor in the area indicated by the red x in the figure, below. What type of
blindness is the patient most likely to incur? Explain your reasoning. --------correct answer------Left eye
blindness because there is damage to the left optic nerve. Information from the left visual field has not
yet crossed at the optic chiasm. Both peripheral and nasal fields of the left eye would be missing.
A patient has lost his sense of smell following a car accident. What term should be documented should
to describe his loss of smell? --------correct answer------Anosmia
A patient has lost his sense of taste following a TBI. What term should be documented should to
describe his loss of taste? --------correct answer------Ageusia
A patient is found to have blindness in the right eye. What part of the vision pathway
was most likely damaged? Explain your response. --------correct answer------D. Right optic nerve. The
optic nerve provides vision so if the blindness in the right eye then the right optic would be
impaired.
, A patient is found to have blindness of the right visual field of both eyes. What part
of the vision pathway was most likely damaged? Explain your response. --------correct answer------C. Left
LGN
All the sensory information from the right visual fields travels together after the
optic chiasm to the left side of the brain.
A patient sustains an injury to the Organ of Corti. What type of deafness does this
patient most likely have? Explain your answer. --------correct answer------Nerve deafness : Occurs from
damage to the nerve for the auditory pathway. The Organ of Corti is part of the nerve pathway (receptor
cells).
A patient sustains an injury to the Organ of Corti. What type of deafness does this patient most likely
have? Explain your answer. --------correct answer------Nerve deafness
Occurs from damage to the nerve for the auditory pathway. The Organ of Corti is part of the nerve
pathway (receptor cells).
A person cannot perceive tastes from the anterior portion of the tongue. What nerve is most likely
damaged --------correct answer------Facial (CN VII)
A person cannot perceive tastes from the posterior portion of the tongue. What nerve
is most likely damaged? --------correct answer------Glossopharyngeal (CN IX)
Describe the steps in the olfactory pathway. Begin in the nasal cavity and end in the specific lobe of the
brain. --------correct answer------Chemicals dissolve in nasal mucosa
Detected by olfactory receptors (bipolar cells)
Olfactory nerves, olfactory bulb, olfactory tract
Temporal lobe of the brain
