Deck 15: Nervous System

Question 1

Circle the correct answer for the given question.
Prefix meaning inward

A) inter-
B) exo
C) infra-
D) eso-

Answer 1

The prefix ' inter' means ' between.' For example interoptic means between the optic nerves.
The prefix ' exo' means ' outside.' For example, exophthalmic is a condition of outside the eyes.
The prefix ' infra' means ' below.' For example, inframacular means below the macula of eye.
Thus, the options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.
The prefix ' eso-' means ' inward.' Esotropia is a condition in which the eyes are pointed inwards. It gives the affected individual a cross-eyed appearance.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Question 2

Phacoemulsification
Surgeon: P.H. Ernest, M.D.
Preoperative and postoperative diagnoses
1. cataract OD , with low corneal endothelial cell count.
2. myopia OD
Operation performed: Phacoemulsification of right eye with insertion of foldable intraocular lens of 22 power.
Summary: 2% Xylocaine and Wydase administered by peribulbar injection. A Honan balloon was placed on the eye for 20 minutes at 5-minute intervals. Betadine drops were instilled into the cul-de-sac and cornea. A temporal approach was made. A paracentesis incision was made and Viscoelastic was used to replace the aqueous. At the limbus, a temporally approached 3.2-mm incision and then dissection into the cornea was made with crescent blade. A 2.3-mm keratome was used to make an internal corneal cut through Descemet's membrane creating a square wound. Under Viscoelastic, multiple sphincterotomies were performed. A 360-degree capsulorrhexis was performed. Hydrocortical cleavage and hydrodelineation was performed. Using phacoemulsification, the nucleus was sculpted into perpendicular grooves. Using an Ernest nuclear cracker, the nucleus was cracked into four quadrants. The epinucleus and any residual cortex was removed using pulsed phaco, irrigation, and aspiration. Under Viscoelastic, a foldable intraocular lens was inserted and positioned within the capsular bag. All Viscoelastic was removed both anterior and posterior from the intraocular lens using irrigation and aspiration. 500-cc balanced salt, 20-mg Vancomycin and 10-mg Tobramicin was instilled. The wound was tested to ensure no wound leaks. Maxitrol ointment and a shield was applied over the eye to ensure no inadvertent corneal abrasion. The patient was sent to the recovery room in good condition.

Answer 2

1.
Phac/o/emulsification: The combining form phac/o means crystalline lens of the eye. Phacoemulsification is a process of surgical removal of the lens through breaking the lens.

Hence, Scrape wound is also called abrasion.
3.

Hence, Rupture of the capsule is Capsulorrhexis.

Hence, the term synonymous for 'within the eye' is Intraocular.
5.

Hence, the correct term for cloudy lesion on the lens is Cataract.
8.
The prefix epi- means upon. Something that is present on the nucleus can be termed as located epinucleus.
Hence, the correct term for up on the nucleus is epinucleus.
9.
Pertaining to the cornea: Corneal. The suffix -al means pertaining to.
10.
The suffix -centesis means a surgical puncture to remove fluid. The prefix para- means around.
The correct term for making puncture for the removal of fluid is Paracentesis.
11.
