Q

What sections (secondary brain vesicles) do the 3 parts of the embryonic brain split into?

and which of these new parts does the optic vesicles (future eyes) originate from?

A

prosencephalon –> TELencephalon

TELL someone FIRST”
–> DIencephalon

from here”

mesencephalon –> stays the same!!

rhombencephalon –> METencephalon
“where the hindbrain MEETs
midbrain”
–> MYELencephalon

axons are more likely to be
MYELinated”

Q

where is the occipital bone?

A

back of the skull (cover the occipital lobe)

26
Q

what is the scientific name for where the ear canal enters the skull?

A

external acoustic meatus opening

27
Q

what is the bone on the side of the skull called?

and what does it enclose?

A

temporal bone

encloses the small bones of the ear

28
Q

where is the external occipital protuberance?

and why is important?

A

a bony lump of the back of the skull on the occipital bone

it is a site of muscle attachment to the back, allowing tilting of the head back and forewords

29
Q

where does the motor part of the facial nerves come through?

A

styloMASTOID foramen

“you need motor facial nerves in order to accomplish MASTIcation”

30
Q

what is the hole where the spinal cord and brainstem go through called?

A

foramen magnum

31
Q

what are tracts? (white matter)

A

location of a pathway

32
Q

What is a commisure? (white matter)

A

tract connecting hemispheres

33
Q

what is a lemnisucs? (white matter)

A

narrow strip of fibres

34
Q

what is a funiculus? white matter

A

rope or cord

35
Q

what is a fasiculus? white matter

A

a bundle

36
Q

what is a capsule? white matter

A

a sheet of white matter fibres which borders a nucleus (grey matter)

37
Q

what is a column? white matter

A

longitudinally running fibres, are separated by other structures

38
Q

what is a peduncle? white matter

A

stem or stalk containing axons which connects different parts of the CNS

39
Q

what is a cortex? grey matter

A

laminated grey matter on outside of the brain

40
Q

what is nuclei? grey matter

A

collection of nerve cell bodies within CNS

41
Q

what is a ganglia? grey matter

A

a collection of cell bodies within the PNS

and some in the CNS which have a capsule - e.g. basal ganglia

42
Q

what does reticular mean?

A

netlike arrangement, where white and grey matter mix

eg reticular formation of brain stem

43
Q

what does the frontal lobe control?

A
  • decision making

- skilled voluntary movements

44
Q

what does the parietal lobe control?

A
  • perception of body

- visuospatial localisation

45
Q

what does the temporal lobe control?

A
  • auditory perception
  • cognition
  • memory
46
Q

what does the occipital lobe control?

A
  • visual perception
47
Q

how is the cerebellum attached to the rest of the brain?

A

via three pairs of cerebellar peduncles (superior, middle and inferior)

48
Q

The anterior spinal artery is a branch off which artery?

A

vertebral

49
Q

The dural infolding that passes between the cerebellum and the cerebrum is called the…

A

tentorium cerebelli

50
Q

Which dural venous sinus is located within the inferior edge of the falx cerebri?

A

inferior sagittal sinus

51
Q

A patient is concerned with their hearing and sometimes fails to recognise familiar tastes. He is also unstable when he gets out of bed. If cranial nerves are responsible for these symptoms, where is the most likely location?

A

Lateral pontomedullary junction

52
Q

Which pair of arteries enter the skull via the foramen magnum?

A

vertebral

53
Q

which nerve innervates the pectorals minor?

A

medial pectoral nerve

54
Q

The ciliary ganglion receives autonomic fibres from which cranial nerve?

A

3 (occular motor)

55
Q

The basilar artery bifurcates at the junction between the:

A

pons and midbrain

56
Q

what causes children to be born without limbs?

A

an earlyfailure of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling in the limb bud

The progress zone has failed to develop

In animal models, early removal of the apical ectodermal ridge (AER)induces similar limbabnormalities

57
Q

what does sonic hedgehog (Shh) do? and where is it expressed?

A

Sonic hedgehog (Shh)is expressed in the ZPA and controls craniocaudalpatterning

craniocaudal patterning is what differentiates pinky/little toe from thumb/big toe.

“sonic is small and so acts on caudal end, inducing differentiation of pinky/little toe” (IS THIS CORRECT??)

58
Q

In limb development, what are Wnt-7and Engrailed-1 involved in?

A

dorsoventral patterning

59
Q

what does the progress zone do? in limb development

A

maintains the proximodistal outgrowth of limb

60
Q

What happens in limb development if thalidomide is given to a pregnant woman?

A

It is a recognisedcauseof phocomelia

It is thought to inhibit angiogenesisin the developing limb

It affects normal FGF signalling in the developing limb

It cannot be safely given to pregnant women

61
Q

what is phocomelia?

A

a rare congenital deformity in which the hands or feet are attached close to the trunk, the limbs being grossly underdeveloped or absent. This condition was a side effect of the drug thalidomide taken during early pregnancy.
