The functions of the CSF include all of the following except:
- removing metabolic wastes
- producing an ultrafiltrate of plasma
- supplying nutrients to the CNS
- protecting the brain and spinal cord
2 - producing an ultrafiltrate of plasma
The CSF flows through the:
- choroid plexus
- pia mater
- arachnoid space
- dura mater
3 - arachnoid space
Substances present in the CSF are controlled by the:
- arachnoid granulations
- blood-brain barrier
- presence of one-way valves
- blood-CSF barrier
2 - blood-brain barrier
What department is the CSF tube labeled 3 routinely sent to:
- hematology
- chemistry
- microbiology
- serology
1 - hematology
The CSF tube that should be kept at room temperature is:
- tube 1
- tube 2
- tube 3
- tube 4
2 - tube 2
Even distribution of blood in all tubes is an indicator of a traumatic tap or of an intracranial hemorrhage.
Intracranial hemorrhage
Xantochromic supernatant is an indicator of a traumatic tap or of an intracranial hemorrhage.
Intracranial hemorrhage
Concentration of blood in tube 1 is greater than in tube 3 is an indicator of a traumatic tap or of an intracranial hemorrhage.
Traumatic tap
Specimen contains clots is an indicator of a traumatic tap or of an intracranial hemorrhage.
Traumatic tap
The presence of xantochromia can be caused by all the following except:
- immature liver function
- RBC degredation
- a recent hemorrhage
- elevated CSF protein
3 - a recent hemorrhage
A web-like pellicle in a refrigerated CSF specimen indicates:
- tubercular meningitis
- multiple sclerosis
- primary CNS malignancy
- viral meningitis
1 - tubercular meningitis
CSF can be differentiated from serum by the presence of:
- albumin
- globulin
- prealbumin
- tau transferrin
4 - tau transferrin
In serum, the second most prevalent protein is IgG; in CSF, the second most prevalent protein is:
- transferrin
- prealbumin
- IgA
- ceruloplasmin
2 - prealbumin
Elevated CSF protein values can be caused by all of the following except:
- meningitis
- multiple sclerosis
- fluid leakage
- CNS malignancy
3 - fluid leakage
The integrity of the blood-brain barrier is measured using the:
- CSF/serum albumin index
- CSF/serum globulin ratio
- CSF albumin index
- CSF IgG index
1 - CSF/serum albumin index
The finding of oligoclonal bands in the CSF and not in the serum is seen with:
- multiple myeloma
- CNS malignancy
- multiple sclerosis
- viral infections
3 - multiple sclerosis
CSF lactate will be more consistently decreased in:
- bacterial meningitis
- viral meningitis
- fungal mengitis
- tubercular meningitis
1 - bacterial meningitis
Measurement of which of the following can be replaced by CSF glutamine analysis in children with Reye syndrome:
- ammonia
- lactate
- glucose
- alpha-ketoglutarate
1 - ammonia
The functions of synovial fluid include all of the following except:
- lubrication for the joints
- removal of cartilage debris
- cushioning joints during jogging
- providing mutrients for cartilage
2 - removal of cartilage debris
The primary function of synoviocytes is to:
- provide nutrients for the joints
- secrete hyaluronic acid
- regulate glucose filtration
- prevent crystal formation
1 - provide nutrients for the joints
The procedure for collecting synovial fluid is called:
- synovialcentesis
- arthrocentesis
- joint puncture
- arteriocentesis
2 - arthrocentesis

Is systemic lupus erythematosus noninflammatory, inflammatory, septic or hemorrhagic:
Inflammatory
