Q&A
c - correct answer-The main opening in the subarachnoid space. CSF escapes into
this, through openings in the roof of the fourth ventricle
a) foramen of Monro
b) foramen of Luschka
c) cisterna magna
corpus callosum - correct answer-the major connective fibers between the two
cerebral hemispheres
anterior cerebral artery - correct answer-This cerebral artery perfuses the medial
frontal, parietal lobe, and limbic regions
anterior cerebral artery - correct answer-Ischemia of this artery leads to loss of
motor and sensory of the contralateral lower limbs and limbic system changes
,medulla oblongata - correct answer-What is the lowest part of the brainstem and
the center for life maintenance controlling heart rate, respiration depth and rate,
and blood pressure
Ventricles - correct answer-Where csf flows
temporal - correct answer-Wernicke's aphasia (what lobe?)
MCA - correct answer-Which cerebral artery perfuses the lateral frontal,
temporal, and parietal lobes
posterior cerebral artery - correct answer-Responsible for perfusion of inferior
temporal and occipital lobes
Foramen of monro - correct answer-Connects lateral and third ventricles
choroid plexus - correct answer-Where cerebrospinal fluid is made.
posterior spinal artery (which arises from the posterior inferior cerebellar artery) -
correct answer-Which artery branches to perfuse the posterior 1/3 of the spinal
cord?
temporal lobe - correct answer-Hearing
Artery of Adamkiewicz - correct answer-Artery that commonly arises from T10
,MCA - correct answer-Ischemia of this cerebral artery leads to loss of motor and
sensory of the upper limbs and face of the contralateral side and aphasia.
reticular activating system - correct answer-What is the name of a set of
connected nuclei responsible for regulating arousal and sleep-wake transitions?
Circle of Willis - correct answer-A series of arteries on the inferior surface of the
brain connecting the vertebral and internal carotid arteries
Circle of Willis - correct answer-A circle of arteries at the base of the brain that
supply blood to the brain
dura, arachnoid, pia - correct answer-The meninges: ________ mater,
___________ mater, __________mater
a - correct answer-Lobe responsible for motor speech:
a) frontal
b) temporal
c) parietal
d) occipital
parietal - correct answer-Lobe responsible for sensory
posterior cerebral artery - correct answer-Ischemia of this cerebral artery leads to
loss of vision and facial recognition
, basilar artery - correct answer-Vertebral arteries join to form the
posterior inferior cerebellar artery - correct answer-What artery perfuses the
cerebellum?
Sylvian fissure - correct answer-separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the
temporal lobe
d - correct answer-lobe responsible for vision:
a) frontal
b) temporal
c) parietal
d) occipital
receptive aphasia - correct answer-The ability to hear words but the inability to
understand what is being said.
cortex - correct answer-name of the outer surface of the cerebral hemipheres
composed of nerve cell bodies
a - correct answer-extension of the dura, lies between the cerebellum and the
inferior surface of the occipital lobes and divides the cranial cavity into two
compartments:
a) tentorium cerebelli
b) falx cerebelli
