A drug overdose patient presents with hypotension (low blood pressure), bradycardia (low heart rate), and is overall generally lethargic. They most likely overdosed on a drug that is pharmacologically/physiologically considered:
True or False? Patients with brain damage to Wernicke’s area…
True or False? Patients with brain damage to Wernicke’s area may display receptive aphasia whereas patients with damage to Broca’s area may display expressive aphasia. Hint: think about what each language center does and in what context they are working.
Which auditory ossicle directly vibrates the oval window to…
Which auditory ossicle directly vibrates the oval window to create fluid waves in the cochlea? Hint 1: it is also the smallest bone in the human body. Hint 2: it can be stabilized by the smallest skeletal muscles in the body. Hint 3: it is most proximate to the inner ear (labyrinth). Hint 4: that’s enough hints.
True or False? Creatine phosphate is the primary energy sour…
True or False? Creatine phosphate is the primary energy source used to sustain long-distance performance of skeletal muscles.
True or False: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, AKA Lou Gehrig…
True or False: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, AKA Lou Gehrig’s disease or motor neuron disease, is similar to Parkinson’s disease in that they both are a result of the autoimmune loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain substantia nigra, thereby affecting the basal nuclei.

As one part of the pupillary reflex, the ________ branch of the autonomic nervous system dilates the pupils in response to ____ light (called mydriasis) and because this is a consensual reflex, the response is ______.
True or False? A patient has elevated troponin levels in the…
True or False? A patient has elevated troponin levels in their blood report (doesn’t specify the isoform), thus they must have damaged striated muscle, for example, had a heart attack or experienced skeletal muscle breakdown from trauma or overtraining.
