Exam 20: Central Nervous System

The cerebrospinal fluid is absorbed into the venous blood by the median foramen of Magendie.

The areas specializing in language functions are found in the left cerebral hemisphere in:

Cerebrospinal fluid circulates through the ventricles, into the central canal and _____, and is absorbed back into the blood.

The central section of the cerebellum is called the:

Rapid mitosis stops at about age 9, but the brain grows in size until about age 18.

There are about 23 mL of cerebrospinal fluid in the nervous system.

The cerebrum has more neurons than any other part of the nervous system.

The corpus callosum is an example of a commissural tract of the cerebrum.

The lateral ventricles are located within the cerebellum.

During your lifetime you are capable of remembering such things as telephone numbers, social security numbers, and song lyrics from many years ago. Your ability to perform these long-term memory tasks is possible because:

Filum terminale is the name given to the dura mater below the spinal cord.

Match each disorder with its corresponding definition. -Inherited form of dementia in which the symptoms first appear at between 30 and 40 years of age

If an injury occurred that damaged the lateral corticospinal tract on the right side of the body, what impact would this have on the voluntary movement of the body?

Match each landmark of the brain with its description or location. -Divides the cerebrum into right and left hemispheres

Besides providing protection, the cerebrospinal fluid can influence the respiratory center.

The cerebellum controls skeletal muscles to maintain balance.

The part of the dura that extends into the longitudinal fissure is the falx cerebri.
