![Page 5: VENTRICLES & VASCULAR SUPPLY Bernelda Thomas, Nicole Vaughn, & Angelica Wiggins](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e7b5503460f94b7ca48/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Answer: Infarction to the Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery may result in D. Wallenberg’s Syndrome
Infarction to PICA may result in Wallenberg’s or PICA syndrome.
There is a loss of pain/temperature sensation from side of the face ipsilateral (same side) to the lesion along with loss of pain/temperature from side of body contralateral (opposite side) to the side of the lesion.
Other clinical symptoms and findings are ataxic motor disorder, dysarthria (slurred speech), and dysphagia.
Along with facial pain, vertigo, nystagmus, and diplopia (double vision).

Answer: B. Blood Brain Barrier
The BBB has several important functions: Protects the brain from "foreign substances" in
the blood that may injure the brain. Protects the brain from hormones and
neurotransmitters in the rest of the body. Maintains a constant environment for the brain.
![Page 22: VENTRICLES & VASCULAR SUPPLY Bernelda Thomas, Nicole Vaughn, & Angelica Wiggins](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e7b5503460f94b7ca48/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 23: VENTRICLES & VASCULAR SUPPLY Bernelda Thomas, Nicole Vaughn, & Angelica Wiggins](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e7b5503460f94b7ca48/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Answer: Ischemic strokes are typically caused by all of the following except B. Aneurysms.
Ischemic strokes are most commonly caused by: a thrombus – a blood clot formed within the vessel an embolus – a bit of foreign matter, such as a
plaque, that is carried along in the bloodstream from somewhere else
stenosis – constriction or narrowing of an artery in the head or neck
An aneurysm is a balloon-like swelling of the arterial walls that can cause damage by compressing brain structures and by rupturing the subarachnoid space.

Answer: The spinal cord is not covered by the _______. D. External periosteal layer
There are two sets of duramater. One that covers the brain and another that covers the spinal cord. The duramater that covers the brain has two layers—external periosteal and internal meningeal. The duramater that covers the spinal cord is single layered and does not have a periosteal layer.

Answer: CSF is/does which of the following? B. Prevents most blood-borne toxins from entering the brain.
Although CSF prevents the entrance of most blood-borne toxins, it is not an absolute barrier. Nutrients such as oxygen and harmful substances such as alcohol and nicotine can enter.
![Page 50: VENTRICLES & VASCULAR SUPPLY Bernelda Thomas, Nicole Vaughn, & Angelica Wiggins](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e7b5503460f94b7ca48/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Question 25
25. The primary function of the ventricular system is to _____________.
a. Provide moisture for the brain.b. Provide a safety mechanism if an artery
is blocked.c. Provide cushion for the brain and spinal
cord during rapid body movements.d. Circulate cerebrospinal fluid.
![Page 51: VENTRICLES & VASCULAR SUPPLY Bernelda Thomas, Nicole Vaughn, & Angelica Wiggins](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e7b5503460f94b7ca48/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Answer: The primary function of the ventricular system is to D. Circulate CSF
The circulation of CSF is essential because it bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord in case of sudden, high impact body movements.
