This is the most superficial layer of the brain meninges.

Dura mater

The _____ fissure separates the right and left cerebral hemispheres.

Median longitudinal

Describe how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. Include a specific brain region.

Memories are not stored in one specific area within the brain but instead are stored throughout the cerebral hemispheres. The hippocampus acts as a memory center to help with memory storage and retrieval. The involvement of the limbic system explains why emotionally charged events result in our most vivid memories.

What is muscle tone and how is it maintained?

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.

This layer of the meninges is tightly attached to the brain

Pia mater

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.

The basal ganglia is responsible for executing a motor plan and to slow and control fine movements (creating the rigid movements). Apraxia, or impaired motor planning. Apraxia results in rigid movements and difficulty executing a motor plan.

What is the purpose of the blood-brain barrier? Describe its maintenance from a cellular level.

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.

It almost appears as if they are intoxicated. What portion of the brain was most likely affected by the stroke? Explain why.

The cerebellum is most likely affected because the cerebellum's main job is to coordinate body movement by relaying information to the cerebral motor cortex. People that are intoxicated tend to be uncoordinated, so a stroke causing the cerebellum could be mistaken as intoxication.

If you were hiking in the woods and came across a mountain lion, which division of your nervous system would have increased activity? Explain your answer.

The sympathetic nervous system would have increased activity as it is responsible for preparing our bodies to respond to stressful situations.

Describe the function of the brain ventricles.

There are four ventricles in the interior of the brain, chambers filled with cerebrospinal fluid which is produced there. Once formed the CSF circulates through the ventricles and into the subarachnoid space bathing and floating the brain.

The _____ fissure separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum.

Transverse

A patient comes into the ER following an accident. She is scared and starting to hyperventilate. You talk with her in a calm, reassuring manner as she receives medical care. You are trying to increase the activity in which division of her nervous system? Explain your answer.

You are trying to increase the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system as it is also sometimes called the "housekeeper system" because it promotes all the internal responses we associate with a relaxed state. The parasympathetic system also acts to slow the heart rate.

If someone sustains an injury to the area of the spinal cord, as shown below by the blue oval, would you be more likely to see paralysis or decreased sensation? Explain your answer.

You would be more likely to see decreased sensation because sensory neurons enter the spinal cord posteriorly.

If someone sustains an injury to the area of the spinal cord, as shown below by the blue oval, would you be more likely to see paralysis or decreased sensation? Explain your answer.

You would be more likely to see paralysis (muscular weakness) because motor neurons exit the spinal cord anteriorly.
