Q

Blood Brain Barrier Function

A

It strictly regulates fluid and filters it. It helps prevent exposure to drugs, waste products in blood, and variations of substances. It serves as protection.

Q

Cerebral fluid Purpose

A

it is buoyant, floats around and reduces 95% if the weight without it the brain would sink. It stabilizes, transports nutrients to brain, removes waste, protects nervous tissue .
1) Shock absorber
2) Maintains pH
3) circulates

Q

CFS production

A
  1. Produced by chore plexus in the ventricles
  2. CSF flows from the lateral ventricles through into the ventricles foremen into third ventricle and then through the cerebral aqueducts into the fourth ventricles
    1. As the CSF flows through the subarachnoid space it provides buoyancy to support the brain
    2. Excess CFS flows into the arachnoid cilli the drains into the Dural venous sinuses. The greater pressure on the CSF in the subarachnoid space ensures that CSF moves into the venous sinuses without permitting venous blood to enter the subarachnoid

Midbrain

17
Q

Medulla oblongata

A
  • Cardiovascular center controls the rate and force of heart beat and diameter of blood vessels
    • The respiratory rhythmicity center control the rate and rhythm of breathing
    • The vomiting coughing and sneezing centers
      Inferior part of the brain
18
Q

Pons

A

controls breathing, acts as a relay centre for motor control
* Connect brain and spinal cord

19
Q

Midbrain

A

Visual reflexes, auditory pathway, startle reflex
* Subconscious muscle activities (parking sons)

20
Q

Cerebellum

A
  • Anterior and posterior lobes that are separated by primary fissure
    • Coordinates muscle movement but does not iniate it
    • Ensure they follow the right pattern
    • When you close your eyes you are still aware of which joints are moving
21
Q

Diencephalon

A

Thalmus
Hypothalamus

22
Q

Thalmus

A
  • Relay station for all sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex
    • Has thalamic nuclei
    • Final relay point for incoming information
    • Clues in information
    • Ex. Filters out sounds when you are trying to study
23
Q

Hypothalamus

A
  • Controls and integrates the autonomic nervous system, and coordinates between NS and endocrine system produces many hormones, controls body temp, regulates hunger and thirst, assists with internal circadian (around day)
    • Mast control of the autonomic nervous system
    • Master control of the endocrine system
    • Regulation of body temp
24
Q

Limbic

A
  • Cingulate gyrus
