Create an acronym/mnemonic device (memory aids) that would help you remember the order in which sound
Andrew [12]

A typical memory aid that helps in remembering the order in which sound travels from the peripheral to the central components of the auditory pathway would be E.C.O.L.I.M.A.

Sound (high or low-frequency sounds) at first gets to the hair cells of the Ear receptors (E) in Cochlea and cranial nerve number 8 (CN VII), then it gets to the Cochlear nuclei (C) which are cells dedicated to these high or low-frequency sounds.

At the Superior Olivary nucleus (O) sound is localized before it gets to the midbrain - Lateral lemniscus (L) and Inferior colliculus (I). The inferior colliculus receives auditory nerve fibers from ipsilateral superior olivary nuclei through the lateral lemniscus.

Sounds then get to the thalamus at the Medial geniculate body (M) which receives nerve fibers from the inferior colliculus; eventually sounds then get to the auditory cortex.

In summary, ECOLIMA is an easily understandable mnemonic device to help remember how sound waves move from the external ears to the auditory nerves and cortex.

What examination technique is used when evaluating the heart valves with
arlik [135]

Answer:

The correct approach will be option B (Auscultation).

Explanation:

  • Besides auscultation including its heart, a stethoscope was being used, and therefore its head may necessitate single or sometimes two diaphragms that encourage the hearing of low as well as high frequencies.  
  • Heart auscultation could perhaps facilitate to develop a better understanding of heart rhythm and breathing, valve state of health, and even some clinical distinction irregularities, including certain congenital disorders or chronic serious illness.

Some other three choices do not apply to that same scenario offered. So, the immediate response here is just the right one.
