The method of which we integrate (detect/ analyze/respond) sensory information is the only purpose of the Nervous system - Knowing this, why do OTs and OTA's Study Neuro Anatomy?
- A.
Each component has a specific purpose and when any component is rendered unable to perform, the body is no longer able to successfully, economically and/or safely integrate sensory information.
- B.
There is an economical advantage to becoming an OT who specializes in injures of the Nuero-motor system. As CVA, spinal cord and TBI's increase due to age and trauma. the OT who specializes in this area will be in demand and Highly employable.
- C.
All systems are circular in nature. The nervous system is no exception to that rule. you may not damage or effect one component of the system without damaging or effecting part or all of the other components. When damage of this nature occurs, Sytem failures ensues!
- D.
Both A & C
- E.
Both B & C
Correct Answer
D. Both A & CExplanation
OTs and OTA's study Neuro Anatomy because understanding the integration of sensory information is crucial in their field. When any component of the nervous system is unable to perform, the body cannot effectively integrate sensory information. This knowledge allows OTs to assess and treat patients with injuries to the neuro-motor system, such as CVA, spinal cord injuries, and TBI's. Specializing in this area provides an economical advantage as the demand for OTs with expertise in neuro-motor system injuries increases. Additionally, all components of the nervous system are interconnected, so damage to one component can affect others, leading to system failures.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. axoaxonicExplanation
The term "axoaxonic" refers to the junction between the axon of one neuron with the axon of another neuron. This means that the synapse occurs between two axons rather than between an axon and a dendrite or soma. Axoaxonic synapses are less common than axodendritic or axosomatic synapses, but they play important roles in modulating the activity of the postsynaptic neuron. They can either enhance or inhibit the transmission of signals between neurons, depending on the specific neurotransmitters involved.Rate this question:

Again, true or false: The lower Motor neuron is a neuron whose cell body is in the cerebral cortex and whose axons descend to the spinal cord.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The lower motor neuron is a neuron whose cell body is located in the spinal cord or brainstem and whose axon extends out to the muscles or glands. It is responsible for carrying signals from the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system to initiate muscle contractions or glandular secretions. Therefore, the statement that the lower motor neuron's cell body is in the cerebral cortex and its axons descend to the spinal cord is incorrect.Rate this question:
-
- 22.
Injury to these neurons yields localized decreased muscle function
- A.
Lower motor neurons
- B.
Upper motor neurons
Correct Answer
A. Lower motor neuronsExplanation
Lower motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the spinal cord to the muscles, controlling their movement. When these neurons are injured, there is a localized decrease in muscle function because the signals from the spinal cord cannot reach the muscles properly. Upper motor neurons, on the other hand, are responsible for transmitting signals from the brain to the lower motor neurons. However, injury to upper motor neurons would not directly result in localized decreased muscle function as their role is to modulate and refine the signals sent by the lower motor neurons.Rate this question:
-
- 23.
Injury to these neurons yields diffuse decreased muscle function
- A.
Lower motor neurons
- B.
Upper motor neurons
Correct Answer
B. Upper motor neuronsExplanation
Injury to upper motor neurons can result in diffuse decreased muscle function. Upper motor neurons are responsible for transmitting signals from the brain to the lower motor neurons, which then activate the muscles. When upper motor neurons are damaged, the communication between the brain and muscles is disrupted, leading to a decrease in muscle function throughout the body. This can manifest as weakness, decreased coordination, and difficulty with movement.Rate this question:
