Document Summary
Oh, oh, oh to touch a female"s vagina gives vinny a hard-on; some say marry money but my brother says big brains matter more. Exam: how to test it (what abnormality would you see?) The remaining are harder to find; see the tips below. The four indicated below are easiest/largest to find. But dr. moore doesn"t find it clinically helpful, we may see it in texts though. What we think of as taste is actually a combination of taste and smell. The location of the nerve (area is susceptible to some meningiomas) and the way it exits the skull through the cribiform plate. For instance, in head trauma, the axons, which run through the plate, can get banged up. Examination: place non-noxious substance under one nostril w/ patient"s eyes closed and other nostril occluded, ask them to identify substance; coffee grounds, spices work well, we don"t do this routinely in every patient, only when clinical suspicion exists.
