This thin plate of bone forms the roof of the tympanic cavity

What is the Tegmen tympani?

Slide 11

300

This part of the eye produces aqueous humor

What are the ciliary processes?

Slide 32

400

This is the first cranial nerve affected when there is an increase in intracranial pressure

What is CN VI (abducens)?

Due to its long intracranial course

Slide 49 and 53

500

These are the cranial nerves that responsible for the corneal reflex (Name both and specify which part of reflex)

What are CN V1 (sensory) and CN VII (motor)?

Slide 43

Glial or no Glial

100

This part of the neuron receives synaptic input 

What are the dendrites?

Slide 7

200

These are the 2 neuroglia found in the PNS

What are Schwann cells and satellite cells?

Slide 10

300

This neuroglia is responsible for the formation of glial scars after damage

What are astrocytes?

Slide 14

400

These contractile glial cells cover the capillary endothelial cells in the BBB and help regulate the tight junctions and control the diameter of the capillary

What are pericytes?

Slide 9

500

This cell type specifically resides in the second layer of the cerebellar cortex and thus the middle layer is named after it. 

What are Purkinje cells?

These cells are the only output neuron in the cerebellum; GABAergic and thus is inhibitory

Slide 22

Histology? What about herology

100

This type of astrocyte is found in white matter and is rich in GFAP

What are fibrous astrocytes?

Slide 13

200

The axon terminal contains a high density of this organelle

What is mitochondria?

Slide 9

300

This is the most common bacterial agent that causes Gullain Barre syndrome after its infection.

What is Campylobacter jejuni?

Slide 33

400

Astrocytomas commonly develop in these two cerebral lobes

What are the frontal and parietal lobes?

Slide 16

500

This is the most common location of ependymomas in children

What is the posterior fossa of the skull?

Adults: supratentorial region or the spinal cord

Slide 22

100

This is the percentage of cardiac output that the brain receives

What is 15 percent?

Slide 5

200

This internal carotid branch supplies Broca's and Wernicke's area

What is the middle cerebral artery?

Slide 16

300

The great cerebral vein of Galen drains into this sinus cavity

What is the straight sinus?

Superior cerebral veins -> superior sagittal sinus

Middle cerebral vein -> cavernous sinus

Inferior superficial veins -> transverse sinus

Slide 29

400

This artery connects the internal carotid artery to the posterior cerebral artery and is a common site of berry aneurysms. 

What is the posterior communicating artery?

Slide 20

500

These are the 5 arteries that form the circle of Willis

What are the ACAs, ACoA, PCAs, PCoAs, and ICAs?
