Clinical Neuroscience Exam 1 USAHS
Questions and Answers
What are the three main divisions of the developing brain? -
correct answer ✅Forebrain
Midbrain
Hindbrain
What is the forebrain (prosencephalon) divided into? -
correct answer ✅Telencephalon
Diencephalon
What is the telencephalon composed of? -
correct answer ✅Cerebral hemisphere and has structures like the
cerebral cortex, white matter and basal ganglia
What is the diencephalon composed of? -
correct answer ✅Thalamus and hypothalamus
What is the midbrain (mesencephalon) composed of? -
correct answer ✅contains the cerebral peduncles, midbrain
tectum, midbrain tegmentum
midbrain connects the forebrain and hindbrain

Questions and Answers
What is the Hindbrain (rhombencephalon) divided into? -
correct answer ✅pons and cerebellum aka metencephalon
medulla aka myelencephalon
what is the cephalic flexure? -
correct answer ✅divides brain and brainstem
what is the cervical flexure? -
correct answer ✅divides brainstem from spinal cord
Where is the choroid plexus located? -
correct answer ✅lies within the subarachnoid space
choroid plexus is where CSF is formed
What is the flow of CSF circulation? -
correct answer ✅1. choroid plexus
2. lateral ventricle
3. intraventricular foramen
,Clinical Neuroscience Exam 1 USAHS
Questions and Answers
4. 3rd ventricle
5. cerebral aqueduct
6. 4th ventricle
7. foramen of magendi
What are glial cells? -
correct answer ✅support cells
What are bipolar neurons? -
correct answer ✅single dendrite and single axon arising from cell
body
mostly sensory neurons -- such as vision and olefactory
what are unipolar neurons? -
correct answer ✅both axons and dendrites arise from a single
process coming off the cell body
occurring mainly in invertebrates
, Clinical Neuroscience Exam 1 USAHS
Questions and Answers
what are oligodendrocytes? -
correct answer ✅myelin forming glial cells in the CNS
what are schwann cells? -
correct answer ✅myelin forming glial cells in the PNS
what is neuromodulation? -
correct answer ✅regulates synaptic transmission, neuronal growth
and other functions
facilitates or inhibits the subsequent signaling properties of the
neuron
what is white matter? -
correct answer ✅areas of CNS with myelinated axons
what is gray matter? -
correct answer ✅areas of CNS made up mainly of cell bodies
most of local synaptic communication between neurons in CNS
occurs here
