The Brain and Cranial Nerves
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The adult human brain contains almost ____ of the body's neural tissue | 97% |

| What are the main divisions of the adult brain? | cerebrum, diencephalon, midbrain and pons NOT the prosencephalon |
| The floor of the diencephalon is formed by the | hypothalamus |
| Autonomic centers that control blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion are located in the | medulla oblongata |
| Ependymal cells work to | surround the capillaries of the choroid plexus, secrete CSF into the ventricles, remove waste products from the CSF and adjust the composition of the CSF |
| A brain hemorrhage is life-threatening because | neurological changes occur, areas of brain won't receive blood, person can loose consciousness and the pressure increase within the space can distort and potentially damage brain tissue |
| Describe cerebrospinal fluid | provides cushioning for delicate neural tissue, provides buoyant support for the brain, acts as a transport medium for nutrients and acts as a transport medium for waste products |
| The cells that cover the outer surfaces of CNS capillary endothelial cells are the | astrocytes |
| What are the functions of the thalamus? | processes sensory info and relays it to the cerebrum |
| The ____ filters and relays sensory info to the cerebral cortex | thalamus |
| Damage to the preoptic area of the hypothalamus leads to which problem? | reduced ability to regulate body temp |
| Joe begins to experience mood swings and disturbed thirst and hunger. Imaging studies indicate that a brain tumor is the likely cause of these disorders. In what part of the brain is the tumor most likely located? | hypothalamus |
| Describe the limbic system | amygolaloidbody, cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, and fornix NOT globus palliclus |
| The ____ is important in storage and recall of new long-term memories | hippocampus |
| Terry suffers from dissociation of memories from their emotional content as the result of an automobile accident. What system of the brain is probably damged? | the limbic system |
| Damage to the substantia nigra causes a decrease in the neurotransmitter dopamine. This causes a gradual, generalized increase in muscle tone, which is the main symptom of | Parkinson's disease |
| The primary motor cortex is the surface of the | precentral gyrus |
| The sense of taste projects to the gustatory cortex located in the _____ and ____ | insula, frontal lobe |
| The corpus callosum is composed of | commissural fibers |
| The surface of the postcentral gyrus contains the ____ cortex | primary sensory |
| The visual cortex is located in the | occipital lobe |
| The auditory cortex is located in the | temporal lobe |
| Parkinson's disease is the result of | inadequate production of dopamine by substania nigra neurons |
| After suffering a stroke, Mary finds that she cannot move her right arm. This would suggest that the stroke damage is in the area of the _____ lobe | left |
| After suffering a blow to the back of the head, Phil loses his vision. The blow probably caused damage to the | occipital lobe |
| Integrative centers of the brain do what? | receive info from many sensory association areas, can impact higher intellectual functions, direct motor activities and include the Wernicke's area |
| Which cerebral area is involved with judgment and predictive abilities? | prefrontal cortex |
| The highest levels of info processing occur in the | cerebrum |
| If the corpus callsum is surgically cut, what could happen? | the two cerebral hemispheres operate independently, symptoms of the disconnection syndrome appear, objects touched by the left hand are recognized but not verbally identified, & conscious decisions are made without regard to sensations from the left side |
| Bob is struck on the left side of the head and is knocked unconscious. When he recovers consciousness, he can hear individual words, but cannot understand the meaning of phrases or sentences. This implies damage to his | general interpretive area |
| Damage to the premotor cortex of the frontal lobe would interfere with the ability to | play the piano |
| ____ is a temporary cerebral disorder accompanied by abnormal movements, unusual sensations and/or inappropriate behavior | A seisure |
| A9N0 ____ is a printed record of the brain's electrical activity over a period of time | electroencephalogram |
| ___ is a disorder affecting the ability to speak or read | aphasia |
| The only sensation that is received directly by the cerebrum is | olfaction |
| Gustatory info reaches the brain by way of | cranial nerve IX |
| ____ is a condition resulting from an inflammation of a facial nerve | Bell's palsy |
| Droopy eyelids and double vision can result from injury to the ____ nerve | oculomotor |
| The cranial nerves that innervate the eye muscles are | III, IV, and VI |
| The cranial nerve that has three major branches is the | trigeminal |
| Sensory innervation of the lower teeth and gums is by the ____ nerve | mandibular branch of the trigeminal |
| Difficulty swallowing may be a sign of damage to which cranial nerve(s)? | glossopharyngeal and vagus |
| A reflex that used to assess the sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is the ____ reflex | corneal |
| Which of the cranial nerves is named for the fact that it "wanders", that is, innervates structures throughout the thorax and abdomen? | X |
| Which sensation(s) does the vestibulocochlear nerve carry? | hearing and equilibrium |
| Jean needs to have a tooth in her mandible filled. Her dentist injects a local anesthetic to block pain afferents in one of her cranial nerves. What cranial nerve does the dentist numb? | trigeminal |
| Tic douloureux is | a disorder of the maxillary/mandibular branches of nerve V characterized by almost totally debilitating pain, triggered by contact with the lip/tongue and also called trigeminal neurolagia |
| You suspect your friend has damage to cranial nerve I when he is unable to | smell his food |
| A patient develops a tumor of a cranial nerve that leads to difficulty in speaking from a loss of tongue movement. Which cranial nerve is affected? | hypoglossal |
| What would you associate with damage to the spinal accessory nerve? | weakness of the sternocleidmastoid muscle |
| The patient has the following symptoms: change in vocal tone, problems swallowing, inability to control urination, erratic heart rate and gastric problems. You would identify the problem as being related to the | vagus nerve |
