Question 3

_____ is a seizure disorder of the brain.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;Parkinson's disease&#10;B) &#8203;Cerebral palsy&#10;C) &#8203;Hydrocephalus&#10;D) &#8203;Epilepsy

Accepted Answer

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain that is characterized by recurrent seizures. Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, and hydrocephalus are all neurological disorders but they do not necessarily involve seizures.

Question 4

The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres-right and left-by a deep groove,known as the gyri.&#8203;

Accepted Answer

The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres by a deep groove known as the longitudinal fissure, not the gyri. Gyri are the ridges between the grooves (sulci) on the brain's surface.

Question 5

_____ is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which immune cells attack the myelin sheath of the nerve cell axons.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;Cerebral palsy&#10;B) &#8203;Poliomyelitis&#10;C) &#8203;Multiple sclerosis&#10;D) &#8203;Encephalitis

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which immune cells attack the myelin sheath of the nerve cell axons. It can lead to a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, muscle weakness, difficulty with coordination and balance, and cognitive impairment.

Question 6

_____ is characterized by a shuffling gait,tremors,pill-rolling,and muscular rigidity.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;Parkinson's disease&#10;B) &#8203;Cerebral palsy&#10;C) &#8203;Hydrocephalus&#10;D) &#8203;Epilepsy

Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease is characterized by a shuffling gait, tremors, pill-rolling, and muscular rigidity. Cerebral palsy is a movement disorder caused by damage to the brain before or during birth, and may involve spasticity or athetosis. Hydrocephalus is a condition where increased fluid in the brain can cause pressure and swelling, and may result in different symptoms depending on the age of onset. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by seizures, which may involve loss of consciousness, convulsions, or other symptoms depending on the type of epilepsy.

Question 10

_____ is a progressive disease in which the initial symptom is usually a problem remembering recently learned information.&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;Dementia&#10;B) &#8203;Alzheimer's disease&#10;C) &#8203;Multiple sclerosis&#10;D) &#8203;Cerebral palsy

Accepted Answer

Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. The initial symptom is usually difficulty in remembering recently learned information. Multiple sclerosis is a disease that primarily affects the central nervous system, causing a range of symptoms such as poor coordination and balance. Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects movement and muscle tone caused by brain damage during development.
