Layers of tough connective tissue encasing the NS 1 of 32 What meninges layer clings to the surface of the brain and spinal cord? Pia mater 2 of 32 What is the subarachnoid space? Fluid filled space between arachnoid membrane and Pia mater 3 of 32 What is the meninges that is tough and flexible but not stretchable? Dura mater 4 of 32 What stops brain displacement? The dura mater 5 of 32 What is impermeable to fluid and stops CSF leakage? Arachnoid membrane 6 of 32 What is meningitis? The inflammation of the meninges caused by infection via viruses or bacteria. 7 of 32 What test is used to reveal meningitis? Lumbar puncture 8 of 32 What will a positive result of meningitis reveal via a lumbar puncture? Cloudy cerebrospinal fluid 9 of 32 What are ventricles? Hollow spaces within the brain, filled with cerebrospinal fluid 10 of 32 What is sited in the centre of the telencephalon and is the largest of its sort? Lateral ventricles 11 of 32 Where is the 3rd ventricle located? At the midline in the centre of the diencephalon 12 of 32 What connects the 3rd and 4th ventricle? Cerebral aqueduct 13 of 32 What ventricle is found between the cerebellum and the pons? 4th ventricle 14 of 32 Which ventricle is located in the telencephalon? Lateral ventricle 15 of 32 Where is the cerebrospinal fluid constantly produced from? Choroid plexus 16 of 32 What is the half life ( time taken for half to be replaced) of CSF? ~ 3 hours 17 of 32 What is the ventricle in which chloride plexus that produces the CSF ? Lateral ventricle 18 of 32 What order does the CSF flow when it is produced? Lateral > 3rd ventricle > 4th ventricle > subarachnoid space > bloodstream 19 of 32 What are the 4 vital functions of CSF? Protection, Buoyancy, Waste reduction, Transport 20 of 32 What is hydrocephalus also known as? Water on the brain 21 of 32 Why does hydrocephalus occur? Due to excess CSF in ventricles, i.e. drainage blocked 22 of 32 What is the treatment for hydrocephalus? Shunt insertion 23 of 32 What are supporting cells also known as? Glial cells 24 of 32 What is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also known as? Lou Gehrig Disease 25 of 32 What is the most common form of motor neurone disease? ALS 26 of 32 What are microglial? Smallest glial cells that protect the brain from invading microorganisms 27 of 32 What is the blood brain barrier? A semi-permeable barrier between blood and brain 28 of 32 What are the capillaries lined with? Endothelial cells 29 of 32 What allows substances to move across capillary walls? The small spaces between each endothelial cell. 30 of 32 Why in the brain do no spaces exist between endothelial cells? So substances cannot pass over the capillary wall (BBB) 31 of 32 What molecules CANNOT pass through BBB and how? Large molecules via carbohydrates enzymes. 32 of 32
