Q

You encounter a still-born fetus who has a single orbit, as well a a nose above the orbit. When conducting an autopsy, what will be of significance in the prosencephalon?

A

It will have failed to divide into two cerebral hemispheres.

This is known as holoprosencephaly.

Q

You encounter a patient who has spina bifida, but you are not sure what type of spina bifida they have. You note that they do not have vertebral arches in caudal areas, but spinal cord function is normal. What type of spina bifida does the patient most likely have?

A

Spina bifida occulta

Q

You are performing an ultrasound on a patient and note that the fetus has a sac-like cyst at the end of the spine. What type of spina bifida does the fetus most likely have?

A

Spina bifida cystica

20
Q

You encounter a patient who has spina bifida cystica. Upon examination of the sac at the caudal region of the spinal cord, you note that meninges are only found in the sac. What type of spina bifida cystica does the patient most likely have?

A

Meningocele

21
Q

You encounter a patient with spina bifida cystica. You note that meninges and spinal cord are found in a sac in the caudal region of the spinal cord. The patient also has lower extremity paralysis. What type of spina bifida cystica does the patient most likely have?

A

Meningomyelocele

22
Q

What is the most severe of the spina bifida cystica disorders?

A

Myeloschisis

It is the failure of the caudal neural folds to close.

23
Q

What are some characteristisc of Arnold-Chiari Deformity?

A

Inferior cerebellum and medulla are elongated and protrude into vertebral canal.

Meduall and pons are small and deformed.

Hydrocephalus

Malformation of lower cranial nerves.

24
Q

You encounter a patient who has hydrocephalis, deafness, tongue, facial muscle and lateral eye movement weakness. An MRI scan shows that the patient has a small, deformed medulla and pons, and the medulla protrudes into the vertebral canal. What disorder does the patient most likely have?

A

Arnold-Chiari Deformity

25
Q

The telecephalon is important for what type of function?

A

Motor function

26
Q

What are the lumina, floor and roof of the telencephalon primordia?

Q

Lateral corticospinal tracts are associated with the motor systems that carry information from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord. They are found in what region of the medulla (myencephalon)?

A

Pyramids

34
Q

What are the three vital reflex centers found in the medulla?

A

Cardiac center

Vasomotor center

Centers related to respiration

35
Q

What cranial nerves are found in the nuclei of the pons?

A

Q

What centers are found in the pons?

A

Sleep centers

Respiratory centers

37
Q

What cranial nerves are found in the nuclei of the mesencephalon?

A

Cranial nerve nuclei III - IV

38
Q

What are the components of the mesencephalon?

A

Nuclei

Tegmentum

39
Q

What are the three components of the tegmentum of the mesencephalon?

A

Red nucleus

Substantia nigra

Various tracts

40
Q

How is the cerebellum connected to other parts of the brain?

A

Via peduncles.

Inferior -> medulla and spinal cord

Middle -> pons

Superior -> midbrain

41
Q

What are the functions of the cerebellum?

A

Coordinate skeletal muscle movements

Maintain equilibrium and posture

Synergic control of muscle activity

42
Q

What are the three regions of the diencephalon?

A

Thalamus

Epithalamus

Hypothalamus

43
Q

What is the function of the thalamus?

A

Major relay center for afferent and efferent information to and from cerebrum and other areas of the brain.

44
Q

What is the function of the epithalamus?

A

Nuclei in this region are involved in emotional and visceral responses to odors.

45
Q

What are the stages in the development of the neural tube?
