Sensorineural hearing loss is due to dysfunction of the:
external canal.
pinna.
inner ear.
cranial nerve IV. - ANS-inner ear.
Epstein-Barr virus is NOT spread via:
kissing.
contaminated food.
sharing eating utensils.
sexual contact. - ANS-contaminated food.
The inability of the brain to interpret sound that enters the ear normally is called:
auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder.
an acoustic neuroma.
sensorineural hearing loss.
conductive hearing loss. - ANS-auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder.
A nontraumatic inflammation or irritation of the connective tissue of the eye is:
conjunctivitis.
blepharitis.
iritis.
uveitis. - ANS-conjunctivitis.
In patients who have allergic rhinitis, sneezing and itching are due to:
mucous gland hypoactivity.
vasodilation.
stimulation of sensory nerves.
presence of foreign bodies. - ANS-stimulation of sensory nerves.

allergic response?
Eosinophils
Basophils
Neutrophils
Monocytes - ANS-Eosinophils
, The failure of one or both eyes to achieve normal visual acuity despite normal structural health
is called:
myopia.
