Practice exam questions The resting membrane potential of nerve and muscle is: - ANS -90 to -70 mV A bundle of nerve fascicles are bound together by a connective tissue called: - ANS perineurium What best describes the connective tissue sheath surrounding EACH individual fascicle in a peripheral nerve? - ANS endoneurium In examining a patient with brachial plexopathy, the deltoid and triceps are weak, but the biceps and pronator trees are normal. The lesion i...

Introduction to Nerve Conduction Studies definition: analysis and interpretation of electrical signals produced by depolarization of excitable nerve and muscle cells - ANS clinical electrophysiology what terminology to use? - electrodiagnostic testing (EDx) - electroneuromyography (ENMG) - EMG/NCS - most common term people use - electrophysiologic testing - technically more correct term - ANS benefits of electrophysiologic testing: - correlating with physical...
