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
