What is cerebrospinal fluid?
This fluid cushions the brain while providing nourishment to the central and peripheral nervous systems.
100
What is the brain stem?
This structure is composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
100
What is 4?
This is the number of lobes that make up the brain.
100
What is the heart?
This is the body's main muscle/organ for pumping blood.
100
What is the cervical region?
This is the most superior section of the vertebral column.
200
What is the choroid plexus?
CSF is produced here.
200
What is the midbrain?
This section of the brain stem is the narrowest and most superior.
200
What is broca's area?
This area is important for motor speech.
200
What are the internal carotid arteries?
The common carotid artery bifurcates and creates these.
200
What is the coccygeal region?
This is the most inferior section of the vertebral column?
300
What are the lateral ventricles?
These are the paired ventricles making up the superior portion of the ventricular system.
300
What is the pons?
Most of the cerebellar peduncles attach to this part of the brain stem.
300
What is sensory information?
This type information is dedicated mainly to the parietal lobe.
300
What is the Circle of Willis?
This is the joining area of several arteries at the bottom (inferior) side of the brain.
300
What is 12?
This is the number of vertebrae making up the thoracic region of the column.
400
What is the foramen of Munro?
This passageway connects the lateral ventricles with the 3rd ventricle.
400
What is the inferior colliculus?
Known as "little hills," this specific structure found in the midbrain plays an important role in the auditory pathway.
400
What is the longitudinal fissure?
This separates the hemispheres of the brain.
400
What are the vertebral arteries?
The basilar artery is formed by the merging of these.
400
What is the thoracic region?
This region of vertebrae refers to the chest and upper back areas.
500
What is the cerebral aqueduct or aqueduct of Sylvius?
This is the connection between the 3rd and 4th ventricles.
500
What is pyramidal decussation?
Found in the medulla, this region refers to the crossing over of motor pathways.
500
What is the thalamus?
This structure's role involves being the main relay center for sensory and motor information.
500
What is the middle cerebral artery?
Stemming from the internal carotid arteries, this is one of the three major paired arteries that supply blood to the lateral surfaces brain.
500
What is the lumbar region.
This is the region involved with epidurals.
