Neuro Essentials Quiz


Froggy Jumps Neuro Essentials QuizOnline version Test your neuroscience knowledge. by Maureen Rose 1 What are the three primary types of spina bifida? a Spina bifida occulta, meningocele, and myelomeningocele b Spina bifida anterior, posterior, and lateral c Spina bifida cystica, syringomyelia, and anencephaly 2 What are the main medical treatments for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and what is not recommended? a Antivirals; IVIg is not recommended b Chemotherapy; plasmapheresis is not recommended c IVIg and Therapeutic Plasma Exchange; corticosteroids are not recommended 3 How do intrafusal and extrafusal muscle fibers differ structurally and functionally? a Both generate movement equally; intrafusal fibers are motor, extrafusal are sensory b Intrafusal fibers are outside muscles; extrafusal fibers detect length changes c Extrafusal fibers generate movement; intrafusal fibers are within spindles and detect stretch 4 How do neurotransmitters differ from neuromodulators in action and duration? a Neuromodulators act at the cleft; seconds. Neurotransmitters act distantly; hours b Both act at the same site with identical durations c Neurotransmitters act at the cleft; seconds. Neuromodulators act distantly; minutes to days 5 What are the hallmark manifestations of myelomeningocele? a Lower extremity paralysis/paresis, sensory loss, bowel/bladder issues b Upper limb weakness and seizures c Vision loss and hearing loss 6 What are the roles of muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs (GTOs)? a Spindles detect muscle length/velocity; GTOs signal tendon tension during contraction b Spindles detect pain; GTOs detect temperature c Spindles relax muscles; GTOs store calcium 7 Differentiate fast pain and slow pain pathways. a Fast pain via spinolimbic; slow pain via spinothalamic b Both use the same pathway with equal speed c Fast pain via spinothalamic tract (large myelinated); slow pain via spinolimbic (C fibers) 8 What is Acetylcholine's role in the peripheral nervous system? a Only functions in the CNS, not PNS b Initiates skeletal muscle contraction; autonomic effects on heart rate and secretions c Inhibits muscle contraction; reduces heart rate only 9 Describe Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) in GBS treatment. a TPE strengthens myelin directly b Plasmapheresis removes circulating antibodies to stop Schwann cell attack c IVIg enhances antibody production 10 What are central sensitivity syndromes in relation to nociceptive neurons? a Nociceptor sensitization with dysfunctional endogenous pain control b Nociceptors shut down permanently c Pain entirely unrelated to nociception 11 What are the three spina bifida types mentioned and which is most severe? a Spina bifida occulta, meningocele, myelomeningocele; myelomeningocele is most severe. b Spina bifida aperta, cystica, spina bifida vera c Spina bifida occulta, meningomyelocele, craniosynostosis 12 What is a primary GBS management strategy to neutralize antibodies, and what is not recommended? a Chemotherapy; plasmapheresis is not recommended b Antibiotics; IVIg is not recommended c IVIg therapy; corticosteroids are not recommended. 13 How do extrafusal and intrafusal muscle fibers differ functionally? a Extrafusal sense pain; intrafusal sense touch b Extrafusal detect length; intrafusal cause contraction c Extrafusal generate movement; intrafusal detect muscle length in spindles. 14 How do neurotransmitters differ from neuromodulators in action/site and duration? a Neurotransmitters act at synapse for seconds; neuromodulators act away from the cleft, longer. b Neurotransmitters only in CNS; neuromodulators only in PNS c Neurotransmitters act at distance for hours; neuromodulators at synapse for milliseconds 15 What are common symptoms of myelomeningocele? a LE paralysis/paresis, sensory loss, bowel/bladder issues. b Headache and facial droop, tremor c Only cognitive deficits with no motor loss 16 What do muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) sense? a Spindles sense pain; GTOs sense pressure b Spindles sense warmth; GTOs sense vibration c Spindles sense length/velocity; GTOs sense tendon tension. 17 Fast pain and slow pain differ in pathways and axons how? a Both use same fibers; only speed differs b Fast pain uses C fibers; slow pain uses A-delta fibers c Fast pain via spinothalamic with myelinated A-delta; slow via spinolimbic with unmyelinated C fibers 18 What is Acetylcholine (ACh) primarily doing in the PNS? a Primarily a neuromodulator with long-range effects b Initiates skeletal muscle contraction and modulates autonomic functions. c Inhibits muscle contraction and reduces heart rate only 19 What is Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) used for in GBS? a To replace lost plasma with saline-only solution b To deliver concentrated antibodies to nerves c To remove circulating antibodies and reduce immune attack on Schwann cells. 20 What are central sensitivity syndromes in relation to nociceptive neurons? a Pain pathways are blocked entirely by dopamine b Nociceptive neurons become sensitized; innocuous stimuli feel painful. c Nociceptors become desensitized; pain disappears

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
