38
[blank_start]Syringomyelia[blank_end] is the expansion of the [blank_start]central[blank_end] [blank_start]canal[blank_end] which leads to [blank_start]spinothalamic[blank_end] tract damage as the [blank_start]crossing[blank_end] axons are damaged.

43The [blank_start]Romberg[blank_end] test is a test of the body's sense of positioning ([blank_start]proprioception[blank_end]), which requires functioning of the [blank_start]dorsal[blank_end] [blank_start]columns[blank_end] of the spinal cord. A patient who has a problem with proprioception can still maintain balance by using [blank_start]vestibular[blank_end] [blank_start]function[blank_end] and [blank_start]vision[blank_end].

It is located on the side of the skull, just [blank_start]behind[blank_end] the temple. This artery runs through the [blank_start]foramen[blank_end] [blank_start]spinosum[blank_end].

52The [blank_start]Monro[blank_end]-[blank_start]Kellie[blank_end] doctrine states that three things exist within the fixed dimensions of the skull: [blank_start]blood[blank_end], cerebrospinal fluid, and the brain. An increase in any one component must lead to a [blank_start]decrease[blank_end] in one (or both) of the other components, otherwise the [blank_start]intracranial[blank_end] pressure will increase.
If the pressure is severe enough, this can lead to [blank_start]herniation[blank_end] of brain tissue out of the skull. If this occurs at the brainstem, it can lead to [blank_start]coma[blank_end] or even brain [blank_start]death[blank_end].- AMonro

53[blank_start]Cerebellar[blank_end] [blank_start]tentorium[blank_end]: is an extension of the [blank_start]dura[blank_end] mater that separates the cerebellum from the inferior portion of the [blank_start]occipital[blank_end] lobes.

60[blank_start]Wernicke's[blank_end] dysphasia (AKA [blank_start]receptive[blank_end] [blank_start]aphasia[blank_end]) is when one can speak fluently but cannot comprehend nor speak comprehensively. Because the patient is [blank_start]unaware[blank_end] of this, the prognosis is poor.
[blank_start]Broca's[blank_end] dysphasia (AKA [blank_start]expressive[blank_end] [blank_start]aphasia[blank_end]) is when one can fully comprehend but has difficulty replying/speaking.
