The ____ fissure separates the cerebrum from cerebellum. transverse 2. The _____ fissure separates the right and left cerebral hemispheres. median longitudinal 3. Describe the function of the brain ventricles. In the interior of the brain, there are four ventricles where cerebrospinal fluid is produced in th e chambers. The CSF will circulate through the ventricle and the subarachnoid space. This floats the brain and protects it from hitting the skull. 3. What is the purpose of the blood -brain barrier? Describe its maintenance from a cellular level. The bloo d-brain barrier is a diffusion barrier which prevents most particles from entering the central nervous system tissue, keeping the brain and spinal cord separate from general blood circulation. The blood0brain barrier is formed by the relatively impermeable brain capillaries, due to glial cells astrocytes. Maintenance of the blood -brain barrier is important to provide a stable chemical environment for the nervous system. 4. All of the following are a function of the hypothalamus except: A. Regulate sleep B. Links nervous and endocrine systems C. Filters out important sensory info D. Regulates water balance C. Filters out important sensory info 4. All of the following are a function of the hypothalamus except: A. Maintain homeostasis B. Controls pituitar y gland C. Links the nervous system and endocrine D.
