what is the purpose of the blood brain barrier? describe its maintenance from a cellular
level - ANSWERSit is a diffusion barrier that helps in the prevention of unneeded
materials that attack the CNS by keeping the brain and spinal cord away from the
general blood bank.It is composed of the gilal cells astrocytes and its pertinent for
regulation to be able to keep a homestatis which aids in protecting the neurons
a pt is unable to extend his left wrist or fingers. what nerve is most likely damaged ? -
ANSWERSradial nerve
explain the main steps in the process of hearing - ANSWERS1.) sound waves are
funneled through the external auditory Canal which causes the eardrum to vibrate
2. the vibrations go into the ossicles and push against the fluids inside the cochlear
duct. the movement of the fluid causes the stereocilla in the organ of court to move as
well.the neurons are stimulated to send impulses through the cochlear nerve to the
primary auditory cortex of the temp lobe

new supporting cells then form new gustatory cells - ANSWERSbasal cells
