thin, web-like membrane that covers the entire brain

A

arachnoid mater

34
Q

The space between the dura and arachnoid membranes

A

subdural space

35
Q

hugs the surface of the brain following its folds and grooves.

A

pia mater

36
Q

has many blood vessels that reach deep into the brain.

A

pia mater

37

A

SYRINGOMYELIA

43
Q

Blood is carried to the brain by two paired arteries

A

internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries

44
Q

arteries supply most of the cerebrum.

A

INTERNAL CAROTID

45
Q

arteries supply the cerebellum, brainstem, and the underside of the cerebrum

A

VERTEBRAL ARTERIES

46
Q

The basilar artery and the internal carotid arteries “communicate” with each other at the base of the brain called the

A

Circle of Willis

47
Q

The communication —– is an important safety feature of the brain.

A

between the internal carotid and vertebral-basilar systems

Q

drains the anterior skull base

A

CAVERNOUS SINUSES

51
Q

In general, the — hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language and speech and is called the “dominant” hemisphere

A

left

52
Q

_________ hemisphere plays a large part in interpreting visual information and spatial processing.

A

right

53
Q

disturbance of language affecting production, comprehension, reading or writing, due to brain injury – most commonly from stroke or trauma.

A

aphasia

54
Q

lies in the left frontal lobe (Fig 3). If this area is damaged, one may have difficulty moving the tongue or facial muscles to produce the sounds of speech.

A

broca’s area

55
Q

lies in the left temporal lobe

The individual may speak in long sentences that have no meaning, add unnecessary words, and even create new words.

A

Wernicke’s area

56
Q

3 phases of memory

A

encoding
storing
recalling

57
Q

also called working memory, occurs in the prefrontal cortex.

A

short term memory

58
Q

It stores information for about one minute and its capacity is limited to about 7 items.

A

short term

59
Q

processed in the hippocampus of the temporal lobe and is activated when you want to memorize something for a longer time

A

long term

60
Q

unlimited content and duration capacity. It contains personal memories as well as facts and figures.

A

long term

61
Q

processed in the cerebellum, which relays information to the basal ganglia

A

skill memory

62
Q

stores automatic learned memories like tying a shoe, playing an instrument, or riding a bike.
