A

Attention and representation of space around us

22
Q

Temporal lobe

A

Process auidory signals memory

23
Q

Occipital lobe

A

Visual process area of brain

24
Q

What 2 nerves filiments does the spinal cord have attached

A

Nerve arising from dorsal and another from ventral

25
What strong protective layer lines the vertebral canal
Dura
26
What lines the dura
Arachnoid
27
What membrane attaches firmly to the spinal cord
Pia
28
What is the name of the space between the arachnoid and oil
Subarachnoid space filled with cerebral spinal fluid
29
What is the space between the dura and vertebral canal Called
Epidral space filled fat blood vessels loose connective tissue
30
Why does the cord only fill the upper 2/3 of the vertebral canal
In embryo it fills all but the canal grows faster than the cord
31
Meninges is what
3 membrane s Dura matter Arachnoid matter Pia matter
32
Function of meninges
Protect and provide structural support too brain and contain cerebral spinal fluid
33
Dura matter attached to what
Attached to skull and arachnoid matter
34
Function of dura
Provide extra layer to brain and spinal cord Attached brain to skull And spinal cord to vertebral column To stop them moving Provide venous drainage so blood can leave brain
35
Arachnoid trabeculae is what and does what
Strands of connective tissue between arachnoid and pia | Keep brain in place
36
Pia matter is what and does what
Tight membrane around b and sc Additional barrier Secrets and contains cerebrospinal fluid
37
Lumbar cistern
Region at bottom of vertebral canal | Cerebral spinal fluid filled area with no spinal cord
38
What supplies blood to brain
Internal carotid artery bout 80% | Vertebral artery bout 20%
39
What do the internal carotid artery spilt to once entering brain
Anterior and middle cerebral arteries
40
What do the anterior cerebral artery supply
Medial frontal parietal lobes
41
What does the middle cerebral arteries supply
Supply most of lateral surface of cerebral hempsihere
42
What does the vertebral arteries spilt to
Posterior inferior cerbellwr artieres | Supply inferior surface of cerebellum
43
What are ventricle
Network of cavities that are distributed in brain
44
What are the ventricles lined with
Choroid plexus
45
What cells make up the choroid plexus | And their function
Ependymal cells | Specialise to secrete cerebrospinal fluid
46
Main roles of ventricles
Production and secretion of cerebrospinal fluid
47
Function of csf in brain
Protective layer Reducing strain forces like gravity Removes toxins
