ADVANCED HEALTH ASSESSMENT - NEUROLOGY
QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED AND 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
What area of the brain houses the higher mental functions and is
responsible for general movement, visceral functions, perception,
behavior and integration of these functions.
A. Corpus callosum
B. Cerebellar
C. Cerebrum
D. Brainstem Correct Answers C. cerebrum
Cerebellar - integration of voluntary movement, process sensory
information from eyes, ears, touch receptors and m/s
Brainstem - The 12 cranial nerves arise from this part of the brain that
controls involuntary functions.
The 12 cranial nerves arise from this part of the brain that controls
involuntary functions.
A. Autonomic nervous system
B. Cerebellar
C. Cerebrum
D. Brainstem Correct Answers D. Brainstem
Cerebellar - integration of voluntary movement, process sensory
information from eyes, ears, touch receptors and m/s
Cerebrum - houses higher mental functions, responsible for general
movement, visceral functions, perception, behavior and integration of
these functions.
,Name the 12 cranial nerves and whether they are sensory, motor or both
Correct Answers I - olfactory - sensory
II - optic - sensory
III - oculomotor - motor
IV - trochlear - motor
V - trigeminal - sensory and motor
VI - abducens - motor
VII - facial - sensory and motor
VIII - Acoustic - sensory
IX - Glossopharyngeal - sensory and motor

XI - Spinal accessory - motor
XII - Hypoglossal - motor
Permanent paralysis is a result of injury in which motor neurons?
A. Upper motor neurons
B. Lower motor neurons Correct Answers B. Lower motor neurons
Upper motor neurons - initial paralysis followed by partial recovery
Any intruding event (infection, biochemical imbalance or trauma) to the
brain during the first year can result in profound effects because the
major portion of brain growth occurs? T/F Correct Answers True

D. IV Correct Answers B. Cranial nerve II - Optic
Cranial nerve I - Olfactory - not routinely tasted
Cranial nerve III - oculomotor - tests eye movements
Cranial nerve IV - trochlear - ocular movements
