Brain & Limbic System

Question 1

vascular system of the brain

Answer 1

support system of the brain

Question 2

parts of the vascular system

Answer 2

Supplies oxygen to all parts of the brain, neurons need oxygen to function, Arteries, veins

Question 3

Brain Cells

Answer 3

Require Oxygen, brain consumes 20% of body’s oxygen supply, neurons require oxygen to function

Question 4

Arteries

Answer 4

Carry oxygen blood away from the heart

Question 5

Veins

Answer 5

Carry oxygen poor blood back to the heart

Question 6

meninges

Answer 6

protective coverings of the brain

Question 7

Meninges within the CNS

Answer 7

Dura mater, Arachnoid, Pia mater

Question 8

Dura Folds

Answer 8

compartmentalize the tissue of the brain in the cranial vault

Question 9

blood vessels

Answer 9

transport blood to and from brain tissue and remove cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles

Question 10

Subdural hematoma

Answer 10

blood from injured blood vessels can accumulate in this space, causing pressure on the brain

Question 11

Ventricles

Answer 11

A system of interconnected chambers filled with cerebrospinal fluid

Question 12

Cerebrospinal Fluid

Answer 12

-created in the choroid plexus of the ventricles
-Surrounds the brain and spinal cord traveling within the subarachnoid space of the meninges
-It is absorbed back into the blood stream by way of the Dural venous sinuses

Question 13

projection fibers

Answer 13

Project to and from the brain
Interconnect the cerebral cortex with subcortical locations, including the brainstem and spinal cord

Question 14

commissural fibers

Answer 14

Corpus Callosum connects right and left hemispheres regions Connect homologous areas of the brain across the midline

Question 15

Longitudinal fissure

Answer 15

separates the right and left hemisphere

Question 16

Falx Cerebell

Answer 16

Dura mater extends between the right and left hemispheres protecting and separating the sensitive brain tissue
