Definition 1 of 41
The blood-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 blood-brain barrier is formed by the relatively impermeable brain capillaries,
due to the glial cells astrocytes. Maintenance of the blood-brain-barrier is important to
provide a stable chemical environment for the nervous system.
One of your patients sustained a hemorrhagic CVA. You notice they have rigid
movements when moving their arms. They also have difficulty forming a plan to move
their body. What area of the brain is most likely impacted? Explain your reasoning.
Describe how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. Include a specific brain
region.
This is the most superficial layer of the brain meninges.
What is the purpose of the blood-brain barrier? Describe its maintenance from a cellular
level.
Term 2 of 41
Which of the following is true concerning the lumbar plexus?
A. It arises from L2-S2 spinal nerves
B. There are three cords: medial, lateral and posterior
C. There are two divisions: anterior and posterior
D. The anterior division forms the femoral nerve (F)
D. A hemorrhagic stroke is due to a broken blood vessel.
B. The cerebellar peduncles are located posteriorly.
C. The maxillary branch receives information from the upper lip.
C. There are two divisions: anterior and posterior
