24
Q

Duda mater

A

Outermost menignge

25
Dural fold
Infolding of dura
26
Spinal tap
CSF removed from subarachnoid space around cord
27
Epidural block
Anthemic added to epidural space
28
damaged amgydala
No emotion
29
Motor | Speech area
Cannot speak clearly but can understand
30
Interpretation area
cannot understand complex commands can speak
31
Cerebellum
No balance or coordination
32
Basal nuclei in the mesencephalon
Parkinson's trouble continuing a motion
33
Olfactory nerve
Can not smell
34
Facial nerve, causing it to swell
Bell's palsy, paralysis on one side, usually reversible over time
35
Prefrontal cortex
No time sequence or consequence for actions
36
Pineal glands
Odd sleep/ wake cycle bad circadian rhythm
37
Corpus callosum
Servere retardation, little or no communication between the hemi's
38
What would decreased diffusion across the arachnoid granulation affect the volume of CSF in the ventricles
CSF volume increases, puts pressure on brain- hydrocephalus results
39
Many water-soluble molecules that are relatively abundant in the blood occur in small amounts or not at all in the extracellular fluid of the Brian. Why?
BBB only lets lipid-based substances pass through the ependymal layer of cells that envelop the cups
40
The medulla oblongata, if damaged can cause death, whereas similar damage in the cerebrum may go unnoticed. Explain
M.o. Controls vitals and lack will kill you
41
What exact causes the pain when you have a headache? Why are migraine headaches so intense
Headaches are due to scalp pain referred by neck m. Dehydration Migraines- more intense cause scalp pain
42
Why are females better at multitasking when compared to males
Females have a wider | Corpus, and can coordinate the cerebral hemi more effectively as compared to males
43
At what age does the brain too growing larger
Stops growing around 4 and begins to shrink at 55
44
Blood pressure
Medulla oblonga
