what are the signs of menigeal irritation in acute meningitis
What are the classic histological features of Meningioma
Rounded masses with welldefined dural bases that compress underlying brain tissue. The
surface is usually encapsulated with thin, fibrous tissue and may have a polypoid
appearance. Whorled pattern of cell growth is also seen, as well as calcified psammoma
bodies. Presence of syncytial, fibroblastic, and transitional cells is also possible.

explain the pupillary light reflex
1. Upon reception of bright light, photoreceptors of the retina are activated, which relay the information to optic nerve.
2. Optic nerve carries afferent fibers to the midbrain on BOTH sides and synapses on efferent fibers
3. Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers travel with the oculomotor nerve and synapse on ciliary ganglia
4. Lastly, postganglionic parasympathetic fibers innervate the pupillary constrictor muscles
5. Constrictor muscles contract, thereby reducing the size of the pupil.
