Meninges and ventricles
This fluid is made from filtered blood and flows around the brain and spinal cord.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
These five brain parts grow from early brain areas and become the cerebrum, thalamus, midbrain, pons and cerebellum, and medulla.
What is the telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon?
These three components work together to protect the spinal cord.
What are vertebrae, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid?
This congenital disorder occurs when vertebrae fail to form properly, leaving parts of the spinal cord and its coverings exposed in a sac.
What is spina bifida cystica?
This lobe is responsible for the motor cortex.
What is the frontal lobe?
These three coverings protect the brain spinal cord
What is Dura mater, Arachnoid mater, and Pia mater?
This wrinkly part of the brain has two sides, it helps you think and feel, and is split by a groove called the longitudinal fissure
What is the cerebrum?
These widened areas of the spinal cord contain more nervous tissue to innervate limbs
What are the cervical and lumbar enlargements?
This condition can be triggered by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. It can lead to loss of coordination, disorienting, delirium, convulsions, and possibly death. It is defined as inflammation of meninges.
What is Meningitis?
This separates the parietal lobe and frontal lobe.
What is the central sulcus?
These layers and spaces protect your spinal cord, starting with fat, then tough tissue, then fluid, then webs, then more fluid, and finally a soft layer touching the cord.
What are the epidural space, dura mater, subdural space, arachnoid mater, subarachnoid space, and pia mater?
This separates the temporal lobe from other regions.
What is the transverse sulcus?
These nerves resemble a horse's tail
What are cauda equina?
This disease targets motor neurons in the ventral gray horn nuclei.
What is poliomyelitis (polio)?
Damage to this nerve can cause respiratory arrest.
What is the phrenic nerve?
This has mechanical and homeostatic functions.
What is CSF?
This lobe is associated with auditory sensation.
What is the temporal lobe?
This structure connects the two sides of the spinal cord’s gray matter.
What is the gray commissure?
This disease is caused by the varicella-zoster.
What is Shingles ?
This nervous system controls the body, and damage to the brain or spinal cord can cause serious dysfunctions.
What is the central nervous system (CNS)?
This brain fluid highway has four stops. Two deep inside, one in the middle, and one at the back. Fluid flows out to protect the brain and spine
What is the ventricular system?
"The cat doggedly books orange, quickly badgering the sun." Is an example of damage to this area.
What is Wernicke's area?
This integrates, modulates and corrects incoming and outgoing signals.
What is the spinal cord?
This disease targets the somatic motor neurons in ventral gray horn nuclei.
What is ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)?
These two sinuses are key drainage points for cerebrospinal fluid in the brain.
What are the Superior sagittal sinus and Transverse sinus?
