Bell’s Palsy affects the facial nerve and most often presents with motor symptoms only. Yet the facial nerve is a mixed sensory nerve; suggest possible reasons for this anomaly.
Which of the following statements regarding sciatic nerve is correct?
a. Arises from L3/4/5/S1/2
b. Emerges from the lower border of piriformis
c. Most commonly divides onto common peroneal and tibial branches in the middle of the hamstring compartment
d. Can be injured by intramuscular injections in the upper outer quadrant of the buttock
e. Gives no branches in the gluteal compartment
Two patients are admitted to the hospital. According to their charts,both have herniated disks that are placing pressure on the roots of thesciatic nerve. One patient has pain in the buttocks and the posterioraspect of the thigh. The other patient experiences pain in the posteriorand lateral aspects of the leg and the lateral part of the ankle and foot.Explain how the same condition, a herniated disk, can produce suchdifferent symptoms.

- Carpal tunnel syndrome is a modern medical problem created by repetitive tasks such as keyboarding on computers or doing assembly line work. in this condition nerves in the wrist may become pinched, producing irritating, tingling sensations in the hands and lower arms. a) what is the source of the tinglingarrow_forwardWill pain be felt upon stimulation of the central stump of the left vagus nerve if it was ligated? Explainarrow_forwardPart A Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition in which the median nerve is compressed as it travels through a narrow passage in the wrist. Explain how hand dynamometry might be used to assess a patient's need for surgery to release carpal tunnel compression. O Hand dynamometry measures electrical activity of the median nerve, which will be reduced if the median nerve is compressed. O Hand dynamometry measures grip strength, which will be reduced if the median nerve is compressed. O Hand dynamometry measures grip strength, which will be increased if the median nerve is compressed. O Hand dynamometry measures electrical activity of the median nerve, which will be increased if the median nerve is compressed.

- 1. In addition to blood, which fluid was leaking from Mr. Hancock’s right ear? Which structures must have been damaged to allow this to happen? Why would this lead Mr. Hancock’s doctors to give him antibiotics? Why was the head of his bed elevated? 2. Each of the four observations on Mr. Hancock’s chart indicates damage to a cranial nerve. Identify each cranial nerve involved. If applicable, identify which specific branch of that nerve is involved. Mr. Hancock was given a course of antibiotics, the head of his bed was elevated by 30°, and he was placed under close observation. After 24 hours, doctors noted that the right side of Mr. Hancock’s face showed signs of drooping, with incomplete eye closure and asymmetric facial expressions. Mr. Hancock’s right eye showed minimal tear production. The weakness and asymmetry on the right side of his face began to subside after a few days, and the leak of fluid from his ear stopped, but he continued to complain of paresthesia, diplopia, and an…arrow_forwardWhen removing cerebrospinal fluid during a spinal tap, the needle is inserted below L2.
