incorrect
18.
Vertebrobasilar Artery (Function & Location)
incorrect
19.
Flow of Cerebrospinal Fluid
incorrect
20.
Fourth Ventricle (Location & CSF)
A.
From lateral ventricles to third ventricle.
B.
Belongs to Limbic system. Receives inputs from thalamus, projects to cortex. Involved in emotion formation and pain. May directly drive conscious response to unpleasant experiences, involved in fear, prediction (and avoidance) of negative consequences.
C.
Mono or Hemiplegia, depending on extent of damage.
D.
Large intestines, appendix, abdomen, bladder, reproductive organs, lower back, lower extremities, ankles, feet, and more.
E.
Together with the diencephalon, constitutes the forebrain.
F.
A sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum. It covers the cerebrum and cerebellum, and is divided into left and right hemispheres. Plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.
G.
One of three principal openings in the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid and pia mater layers surrounding the brain. Located between the cerebellum and the dorsal surface of the medulla oblongata.
H.
Lateral Ventricles -> Third Ventricle via Foramen of Monro -> Fourth Ventricle via Aqueduct of Sylvius -> Subarachnoid Space via Foramina of Luschka / Magendie -> around brain & down spinal cord -> reabsorbed via Arachnoid Granulations -> venous sinuses.
I.
A structure in the ventricles of the brain where CSF is produced. It consists of modified ependymal cells.
J.
A set of connected nuclei in the brain responsible for regulating arousal and sleep-wake transitions. As its name implies, its most influential component is the Reticular formation.
K.
Incontinence, loss of cortical initiation.
L.
Paralysis of head, EM to opposite side.
M.
The visual processing center of the brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. The two lobes are the smallest of four paired lobes in the cerebral cortex.
N.
A complex from the neck to the brain that merges together to supply blood to the posterior part of the circle of Willis and thus significant portions of the brain.
O.
Located beneath the Sylvian fissure in both hemispheres. Home to primary auditory cortex. Also important for the processing of semantics in both speech and vision. It contains the hippocampus and plays a key role in the formation of long-term memory.
P.
Connection between the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary. Tract to release hormones into the blood.
Q.
Separated from the parietal lobe by central sulcus, and from temporal lobe by lateral (Sylvian) sulcus. Contains most of the dopamine-sensitive neurons, which is associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, planning, and motivation.
R.
Located within the pons or in the upper part of the medulla. CSF entering this ventricle through the cerebral aqueduct can exit to the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord through two lateral foramina of Luschka and a single, midline foramen of Magendie.
S.
Lower portion of brainstem; extension of the spinal cord. Cardiac, respiratory, vomiting, vasomotor centers, autonomic, involuntary functions of breathing, HR and BP. Without this, heart and lung activity would cease. Usually snaps in hanging suicide.
T.
It is a median cleft b/t the two thalami, and is filled with CSF. It is in the midline, between the left and right lateral ventricles. The Interthalamic adhesion, (fibers which connect the two thalami) runs through this.
Type the Answer that corresponds to the displayed Question.
incorrect
21.
Where is the Choroid Plexus located?
incorrect
22.
Aqueduct of Sylvius (AKA)
incorrect
23.
Foramen of Monro (AKA)
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
24.
Large depressions that divide the brain into lobes. The large furrow that divides the two hemispheres is very rarely called this though.
incorrect
25.
It is interposed between the two other meninges. This delicate layer is attached to the inside of the dura and surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It does not line the brain down into its sulci (folds), with the exception of the longitudinal fissure.
incorrect
26.
A set of brain structures (thalmus, hippocampus, amygdalae, cingulate gyrus, hypothalmus, fornix, BG, olfactory, septum), that supports emotion, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction. All emotional experience comes from here.
incorrect
27.
Integrates sensory information particularly determining spatial sense and navigation. Enables regions of the cortex to map objects perceived visually into body coordinate positions.
incorrect
28.
The outermost of the three layers of the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
incorrect
29.
Delicate innermost layer of the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The word finds its roots in Latin, meaning literally "tender mother." It is impermeable to fluid and protects and cushions the brain.
incorrect
30.
A depression in the surface of the brain. It surrounds the gyri, creating the characteristic appearance of the brain in humans and other large mammals.
