    Question 5 Which of these areas interprets sharp sensations? a. Corticospinal tract, medulla, and basal ganglia b. Pyramidal tract, hypothalamus, and sensory cortex c. Lateral spinothalamic tract, thalamus, and sensory cortex d. Anterior spinothalamic tract, basal ganglia, and sensory cortex Question 6 Which of the following is the best explanation why a patient with a lack of oxygen to his heart will have pain in his chest and in the shoulders, arms, or jaw? a. A problem exists with the sensory cortex and its ability to discriminate the location. b. The lack of oxygen i n his heart has resulted in decreased amount of oxygen to the areas experiencing the pain. c. The sensory cortex does not have the ability to localize pain in the heart; consequently, the pain is felt elsewhere. d. A lesion has developed in the dorsal root, which is preventing the sensation from being transmitted normally.

    Question 9 What is true about the peripheral nervous system? a. The CNs enter t h e brain through the spinal cord. b . Efferent fibers carry sensory input t o t h e central nervous system through t h e spinal cord. c. The peripheral nerves are inside t h e central nervous system and carry impulses through their motor fibers. d. The peripheral nerves carry input t o t h e central nervous system by afferent fibers and away from t h e central nervous system by efferent fibers Question 10 Which of the following statements is true for a patient with a severed spinal nerve? a. Because there are 3 1 pairs of spinal nerves, no effect results if only one nerve is severed. b. The dermatome served by this nerve will no longer experience any sensation. c. The adjacent spinal nerves will continue t o carry sensations for the dermatome served by the severed nerve. d. A severed spinal nerve will only affect motor function of the patient because spinal nerves have no sensory component
