Based on your performance on this Optometry Board Part 1 Practice Test, you’re not yet ready for the NBEO® Part 1.
Keep your head up! Also, don’t focus on your estimated score, they mean essentially nothing at the start. Rarely does anyone start these exams and score well immediately, if that was the case then they wouldn’t even need to practice! These are ‘practice’ tests, meaning you’re practicing to improve your skills. If you continue to work hard and study, read and understand the solutions, practice with “OptometryBoards.com” daily and give it your best effort, we promise your score will improve. Review and learn for now, and the scores will come.

What structure provides neurological support to the central nervous system?
A. Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the CNS that enable fast saltatory impulse propagation. Schwann Cells are myelinating cells of the PNS that provide the same function of the Oligodendrocytes but only to the PNS. Altho oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cells, the answer is not specific to only the CNS. Astrocytes are a sub type of glial cell that are star shaped and process envelope synapse made by the neuron.

A divergent neuronal circuit is defined as one in which?
B. A neural circuit is a group of neurons in which impulse is affected at the same time usually in the same direction. Convergent means many neurons send a signal to one nerve. Divergent means one nerve sends a signal to several nerves.

Which of the following is true for nerve impulse conduction?
B. nerve impulses are regulated by myelination of the axons. The more myelination a nerve has the slower the impulse. Continuous condition is slower due to the fact that the nerve undergoes a repolarization phase that lasts longer than a non continuous conduction.

Interstitial fluid is accumulated in all of the following sites, EXCEPT?
A. Cerebrospinal fluid. Interstitial fluid is fluid found within the space around a cell. It comes from blood vessel leakage. Cerebrospinal fluid is colorless fluid produced by the spinal cord that surrounds the CNS not space around cells.

If a patient has paralysis of cranial nerve IV, then which of the following is the most likely outcome?
A. Intorsion of the eye. CN4 innervates the SO. The SO primary function is intorsion

Damage of which of the following cranial nerves leads to anosmia?
B. CN2 innervates smell. Anosmia is the loss of smell
B. CN2 innervates smell. Anosmia is the loss of smell
What part of the brain is Brodmann area 8 located in?
D. Frontal. Brodmann area 8 is the area involved in the management of uncertainty. Clinically if a patient comes in uncertain about everything and a saccadic defect. Then we can localize what area of the brain is affected.

Which part of the ear is controlled by linear VOR?
C. Vestibule is controlled by linear VOR. Semicircular canals are controlled by angular VOR
C. Vestibule is controlled by linear VOR. Semicircular canals are controlled by angular VOR
What part of the brain is considered the control center for vergences?
B. Midbrain. local circuit neurons located in the midbrain near the oculomotor nucleus. These neurons generate a burst of action potentials. The onset of the burst is the command to generate a vergence movement, and the frequency of the burst determines its velocity

A lesion above the left side of the medulla will lead to what problems with motor control?
A. A lesion above the medulla will lead to problems with motor control on the contralateral side of the upper body not the upper face. The facial muscles are controlled by the facial nerve found in the upper brain

Which of the following makes up the internal capsule in the forebrain?
A. Pyramidal motor cell axons come together and form the internal capsule. These fibers then move through the cerebral peduncles, pons and medulla to from the medulla pyramids

What pathway carries pain and temperature information from the body?
B. anterolateral system AKA spinothalamic pathway carries pain and temperature information from the body. Trigeminothalamic pathway carries pain and temperature information from the face.

Which of the following are controlled by the autonomic nervous system? (SELECT TWO)
C and D. The autonomic nervous system is composed of neurons that control input of the visceral organs, secretory glands, and smooth muscles. However, the autonomic nervous system is not a voluntary input system. Such examples of these would be the first two options listed.

Which nucleus forms the tectotegmental tract?
B.The Edinger Westphal nucleus contains fibers that form the tectotegmental tract. The pretectal nucleus is not part of this tract. Pay close attention to the wording of this question. The tectotegmental tract is defined as the pretectal fibers projecting to both ipsilateral and contralateral edinger-westphal nuclei.
