Quiz 11

the neural tissue is isolated from the general circulation by the

blood-brain barrier

overseeing the postural muscles of the body and making rapid adjustments to maintain balance and equilibrium are functions of the

cerebellum

cerebellum and cerebral hemispheres

which of the following lies between the cerebrum and the brainstem

diencephalon

the dural sinuses are located in the

dural folds

the dural fold that projects into the longitudinal fissure between cerebral hemispheres is called the

falx cerebri

which of these dural folds is mismatched with its location

falx cerebri; transverse fissure

the ventricle associated with the pons and upper medulla is the

fourth

each lateral ventricle communicates with the third ventricle through a(n)

interventricular foramen

cerebrospinal fluid

is secreted by ependymal cells

autonomic centers that control blood pressure, heart rate, and digestion are located in the

medulla oblongata

the cerebellum and pons develop from the

metencephalon

thalamus

hypothalamus

pia mater

what structure is covered by many blood vessels and adheres tightly to the surface of the brain

pia mater

the tracts that connect the cerebellum to the brainstem are located in the

pons

which of these is not one of the main divisions of the adult brain

the thin partition that separates the first and second ventricles is the

septum pellucidum
