EUNICESLP Praxis Review WITH 100% SURE ANSWERS
Terms in this set (1027)
This study set was adapted from the user Anetz's practice set. She stated the
following:
"This study set has at least 500 cards gleaned from as many SLP Praxis sets available
on Quizlet as of August 2016. Then I added more as I studied various practice Praxis
tests. Feel free to import this set into your own account so you can change
personalize it.
This comes with no guarantees that it is 100% accurate! Check everything, and good
Speech-Language Pathology Praxis Review
luck!
Btw, I did pass the praxis."
As I have been studying, I have been confirming the information and insuring all
information from the Advanced Review of Speech-Language Pathology Fourth
Edition has been included. Subject areas that have been confirmed will include a
"confirmed" in the subject heading.
NEUROANATOMY AND NEUROANATOMY AND NEUROPHYSIOLOGY: THE NERVOUS SYSTEM- confirmed
NEUROPHYSIOLOGY: THE NERVOUS
SYSTEM (pg. 25-56)
Efferent/afferent neurons transmit info away from brain (motor)/bring info to brain (sensory)
Dendrites - receive signals
Nerve cells endings
Axons - send signal on
Microglia Scavengers to remove dead cells and other waste in brain
Components:
Autonomic nervous system Sympathetic nervous system
Parasympathetic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system Activates fight or flight response
Parasympathetic nervous system Returns body to state of relaxation

, P: direct motor activation pathway, voluntary movement, directly signals nerve cells
in spine or brainstem (fast, skilled, conscious movements)
E: maintains posture and tone for voluntary movements, indirectly regulates LMN
movement activity (slow, postural, reflexive movements)
Pyramidal system vs Extrapyramidal
Damage results in involuntary and bizarre movement disorders; indirectly regulates
nerve cells in spine or brainstem
Both are motor pathways. E is called that to distinguish it from the pyramidal system
that reaches target locations by traveling through the 'pyramids' of the medulla.
Subcortical nuclei: red nucleus, substantia nigra, subthalamus, basal ganglia, and
Extrapyramidal composition
their pathways
Projection fibers from cortex divide into:
Pyramidal system componenets Corticobulbar tract
Corticospinal tract
Control all voluntary muscles of speech (except respiratory)
Decussate (cross) at brainstem where CN's III-XII transition from UMN to LMN
Corticobulbar tract
With the exception of lower muscles of facial expression, all functions of the
corticobulbar tract involve inputs from both sides of the brain.
Descend from motor cortex through the internal capsule, continue through midbrain
and pons (UMN)
Corticospinal tract
Decussate at the medulla, 80-85%, causing contralateral control
After medulla they are LMN but no longer corticospinal tract
Motor neurons in the spinal and cranial nerves
Lower motor neurons
Peripheral nervous system
Upper motor neurons Motor fibers within the central nervous system
Referred to as "gray matter"
Cerebrum Topmost portion of the brain (six layers)
Four lobes in the left and four lobes in the right
Frontal
Parietal
Lobes
Temporal
Occipital
Primary motor cortex (motor strip)- located on the precentral gyrus
Frontal lobe Supplementary motor cortex
Broca's area
Also called the sensory cortex- somesthetic
Supramarginal gyrus- Damage= Conduction, agraphia (writing disorder)
Parietal lobe
Angular gyrus- Damage=writing, reading and naming impairment; transcortical
sensory aphasia
Occipital lobe Primary visual cortex and association
Primary auditory cortex (superior temporal gyrus)
Temporal lobe Auditory association area (Heschl's)
Wernicke's (posterior temporal gyrus)
Brodmann's area 4 Primary motor cortex
Brodmann's area 44 Broca's area
Brodmann's area's 3, 1, 2 Somatosensory cortex
Supplementary motor cortex
Brodmann's area 6 Sound movement sequences
If damaged: Apraxia
