Outermost menignge

25
Q

Dural fold

A

Infolding of dura

26
Q

A

CSF removed from subarachnoid space around cord

27
Q

Epidural block

A

Anthemic added to epidural space

28
Q

damaged amgydala

A

29
Q

Motor

Speech area

A

Cannot speak clearly but can understand

30
Q

Interpretation area

A

cannot understand complex commands can speak

31
Q

Cerebellum

A

No balance or coordination

32
Q

Basal nuclei in the mesencephalon

A

Parkinson’s trouble continuing a motion

33
Q

Olfactory nerve

A

Can not smell

34
Q

Facial nerve, causing it to swell

A

Bell’s palsy, paralysis on one side, usually reversible over time

35
Q

Prefrontal cortex

A

No time sequence or consequence for actions

36
Q

Pineal glands

A

Odd sleep/ wake cycle bad circadian rhythm

37
Q

Corpus callosum

A

Servere retardation, little or no communication between the hemi’s

38
Q

What would decreased diffusion across the arachnoid granulation affect the volume of CSF in the ventricles

A

CSF volume increases, puts pressure on brain- hydrocephalus results

39
Q

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?

A

BBB only lets lipid-based substances pass through the ependymal layer of cells that envelop the cups

40
Q

The medulla oblongata, if damaged can cause death, whereas similar damage in the cerebrum may go unnoticed. Explain

A

M.o. Controls vitals and lack will kill you

41
Q

What exact causes the pain when you have a headache? Why are migraine headaches so intense

A

Headaches are due to scalp pain referred by neck m. Dehydration
Migraines- more intense cause scalp pain

42
Q

Why are females better at multitasking when compared to males

A

Females have a wider

Corpus, and can coordinate the cerebral hemi more effectively as compared to males

43
Q

At what age does the brain too growing larger

A

Stops growing around 4 and begins to shrink at 55

44
Q

Blood pressure

A

Medulla oblonga
