1. This Layer of the meninges is tightly attached to the brain -
ANSWER ✔ Pia Mater (Menix)
2. A patient is having difficulty producing speech sounds, but other
motor movements are normal. Which area of the brain is most
likely damaged?
A. Broca's area
B. Wernicke's area
C. Occipital lobe
D. Parietal lobe
E. Primary motor cortex - ANSWER ✔ A. Brocas Area
, 3. What is muscle tone and how is it maintained? - ANSWER ✔
Muscle tone is the degree at which muscles remain partially
contracted while at rest. Muscle tone is continuously monitored
and maintained by the cerebellum to keep bones and joints in
place.
4. Which statement is false concerning the brainstem?
A. The midbrain portion of the brainstem is continuous with the
spinal cord.
B. The pons helps to regulate breathing.
C. The midbrain contains the superior and inferior colliculi.
D. The medulla contains reflex centers to regulate
vasoconstriction - ANSWER ✔ A. The midbrain portion of
the brainstem is continuous with the spinal cord
5. The ______ fissure separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum. -
ANSWER ✔ Transverse
6. What is the purpose of the blood-brain barrier? Describe its
maintenance from a cellular level. - ANSWER ✔ 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.
