GRADED, GUARANTEED SUCCESS!
What are the two hemispheres of the cerebrum responsible for? Answer: Each
hemisphere receives sensory information from and controls skeletal muscle of the
opposite side of the body.
What is the role of the cerebral cortex? Answer: It is responsible for the conscious
activity of the cerebrum and is divided into four lobes.
What functions does the cerebellum coordinate? Answer: It coordinates smooth muscle
movement, posture, equilibrium, and muscle tone.
What is the primary function of the spinal cord? Answer: It carries sensory information
to and motor information from the brain and provides neuron and synapse networks.
What protects the spinal cord? Answer: The spinal cord is protected by the meninges,
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and adipose tissue.
What is the function of the basal ganglia? Answer: It assists the cerebral cortex in
producing smooth voluntary movements.
What does the thalamus do? Answer: It releases sensory impulses to the cortex and
provides a thalamic pain gate.

, What are the main regulatory functions of the hypothalamus? Answer: It regulates
autonomic responses, stress response, sleep, appetite, body temperature, fluid
balance, and emotions.
What centers are contained in the pons? Answer: The pons contains respiratory
centers that regulate breathing.
What centers are found in the medulla oblongata? Answer: It contains cardiac,
respiratory, vomiting, and vasomotor centers, controlling heart rate, respiration, and
other functions.
What are the two types of nerve tracts? Answer: Ascending tracts (sensory pathway)
and descending tracts (motor pathway).
What are the three layers of the meninges? Answer: Dura Mater (tough and fibrous),
Arachnoid (delicate and contains subarachnoid fluids), and Pia Mater (vascular).
What is the function of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)? Answer: CSF acts as a protective
cushion, aids in the exchange of electrolytes and fluids, and circulates through the
ventricles and subarachnoid space.
What is the normal pressure range for CSF? Answer: 70-200 mmH2O.
What is the Circle of Willis? Answer: It is an anastomosis at the base of the brain
supplied by the right and left internal carotids and vertebral arteries.
What is cerebral angiography used for? Answer: It is used to determine vessel patency,
presence of collateral circulation, and to provide details on vascular anomalies.
What are some nursing interventions before a cerebral angiography? Answer: Assess
kidney functions, check for shellfish allergy, ensure adequate hydration, and monitor for
bleeding.
