Question 13 - Single Best Answer

Bobby is an 8 year old white male with bilateral hearing loss and unsteadiness. He also has flat, segmented lesions on his skin (called "cafe-au-lait spots" because they resemble coffee with milk). His diagnosis is von Recklinghausen's disease. This is an autosomal dominant disorder that is characterized by an overgrowth of Schwann cells. The lesion may also be called an acoustic neurilemmoma or acoustic schwannoma because CN VIII is a common source. Which part of the nervous system is involved in this disease?

central nervous system
peripheral nervous system
autonomic nervous system
visceral nervous system

Question 14 - Single Best Answer

Identify the Schwann cell.





Question 15 - Single Best Answer

Which component of a neuron is injured by the overgrowth of Schwann cells?

dendrites
neuromuscular junction
axon
cell body
