families
3. Two types of strokes ** Answ** ischemic-a stroke caused by a blockage
4. hemorrhagic-A stroke caused by bleeding into the brain
5. Dead tissue is referred to as a ** Answ** lesion
6. What is ischemic penumbra? ** Answ** An area of tissue within the brain
surrounding the ischemic core that has lost the appropriate level of blood supply
to function but that is still receiving enough collateral blood flow from other
vessels to stay alive.
7. What is swelling called around the lesion? ** Answ** Edema
8. Two types of Ischemic strokes? ** Answ** thrombotic- formation of a blood
clot embolic-A piece of a blood clot that enters the bloodstream and gets stuck
somewhere else
9. What is a Transient ischemia attack? (TIA) ** Answ** Mini stroke, usually 2-3
hours and is a warning stroke
10. What is Aphasia? ** Answ** An acquired language disorder, usually caused
by a stroke, head injury, brain tumor or other neurological condition that can
affect a person's receptive and expressive communication skills, both verbal and
nonverbal
11. Anomia means... ** Answ** difficulties with word finding
12. Circumlocution means... ** Answ** an indirect way of expressing something
13. "It's on your face, you can smell a flower"
14. Paraphasias means... ** Answ** A word is jumbled but still intelligible or is
replaced with another word
15. Examples for the word "mouse"
16. *Phonemic ("mose")
17. *Verbal
18. -Unrelated ("mice")

For assistance with assignments. Discussions, M.s Excel ,and dissertations contact
, 21. *Mixed ("sneeze")
22. *Neologistic ("fragger")
23. Agrammatism vs Paragrammatism ** Answ** Agrammatism- omission of
grammar-patient does not include morphological markers (not adding -ing), or
function words in spontaneous speech- utterances contain mainly content words-
seen with Broca's
24. Ex. "Er...two...er...doctors...and...er thirty minutes ... and ... er ... yes ...
hospital ..."
25. vs
26. Paragrammatism- substitution of grammar through morphology- usually adds
incorrect morphological markers- usually semantically empty speech- seen with
Wernicke's
27. Ex. "I was in the shopital after the fall and the other sroke when it happened"

in addition to broca's and wernicke's
29. Pros of Lichtheim/brocas/wernickes models ** Answ** Ties symptoms
together and recognize connections between the different language areas of the
brain
30. Con of Lichtheim/brocas/wernickes models ** Answ** New technology has
shown connections in better depth and lesions in specific areas
31. What is the dual stream model? ** Answ** A model which proposes that
ventral and dorsal pathways extending from the primary auditory cortex have
distinct roles in speech perception.
32. *Ventral= lexical-semantic info for speech comprehension
33. *Dorsal= phonological-motor for speech production
34. There is a strong connections to Broca's and Wernicke's areas via the... **
Answ** arcuate fasciculus

39. Does Hemorrhagic stroke have a predictable recovery pattern? ** Answ** No
