, Question 1
Scott, a 37-year-old elementary teacher, is seeing his general practitioner for complaints of general
weakness, especially in his lower extremities. He has also been feeling very fatigued lately and has
trouble keeping up with his students throughout his work day. His physician notes that he has lost a
significant amount of weight in the last 6 months. Scott reports that even simple tasks, such as brushing
his hair and getting dressed, can seem like a chore. He has trouble climbing stairs because of his
weakness and notices that his speech is slurred, especially at the end of the day.
Scott’s physician uses a tongue depressor during his physical examination and Scott begins to gag and
has difficulty swallowing. His physician notes muscle wasting and abnormal spasticity in upper and lower
extremities bilaterally. All reflexes are normal except the Babinski reflex. Scott’s toes fan out when the
sole of his feet are stroked with the reflex hammer.
Scott’s symptoms are primarily related to problems with:
Motor neurons
Neurons of the autonomic nervous system only
Sensory neurons
Both sensory and motor neurons
