SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 1
(Short answer questions for Final Exam will be taken from this list)
1. Discuss causes, clinical features and criteria for diagnosis of dementia.
Causes: (Mainly Sad Indication)
Metabolic: chronic drug/ alcohol abuse, severe hypothyroidism and vit B
deficiency.
Structural: vascular, frontotemporal, brain trauma, brain tumor, MS,
brain surgery etc
Infective: late stage AIDS – common.
Clinical features:
Memory impairment.
Language disturbance.
Impaired ability to carry out one or more complex motor activity despite
intact motor function.
Failure to recognise or identify objects, places and people despite intact
sensory function.
Executive function disturbance.
Criteria:
Memory impairment (to learn new information or recall learned
information).
One or more of the previously mentioned cognitive disturbances
2. Compare and contrast UMN and LMN in regard to causes and clinical features (muscle
strength, muscle tone, reflexes).
LMNs in ant horns innovate skeletal muscles > mostly injuries and trauma to the
peripheral nerves, or a virus that attacks the horn cells. Guilliane barre
syndrome, polio and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis =
Hypotonia (flaccidity).
Paresis (partial loss of voluntary muscle contraction)/ paralysis
(complete loss).
Loss of muscle stretch reflexes.
In time, muscle atrophy.
UMNs axons descend from the cortex and brain to synapse on LMNs > stroke,
MS, traumatic brain injury or cerebral palsy:
Hypertonia (spasticity).
