- Patricia Savon is 34 years old. She has come to the clinic because of a general feeling of weakness and some difficulty walking. She also has had problems with her vision. When you bring Patricia to the examining room, she asks you to leave the door open because she is afraid of being shut inside. The physician does a physical examination on Patricia and orders some diagnostic tests. A possible diagnosis for Patricia is multiple sclerosis. 1. The fear that Patricia experiences is known as _______________. 2. Understanding Patricia’s fears, what type of nuclear imaging test will be ordered for her? 3. Patricia wants to know how nuclear imaging works; she is afraid of radiation. Explain to her how imaging devices work. 4. What additional instructions and information can you give Patricia regarding the test? 5. Are there other imaging tests that could be ordered for Patricia?arrow_forwardWhich cranial nerve is not involved with either sensation or movement of the eye? Select an answer and submit.

Obturator nerve: show how it branches from the lumbar plexus through the obturator foramen to innervate the muscles of the medial thigh, i.e., gracilis and adductors. Sciatic nerve: show how it branches laterally from the sacral plexus at the intervertebral foramen between L5 and S1 and then pass through the greater sciatic notch to the posterior thigh to innervate the hamstrings. Show anterior and posterior image that show the plexus from which the nerve is derived, its pathway though the body, and to the anatomical area where it innervates skeletal muscles. Show either by drawing or using a skeleton model.arrow_forward
- Callisto survives the accident and goes to jail. Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions. Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are). Provide justification. Short answers. 1. Broca's area 2. Right posterior cerebral artery 3.
