Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The blood in cerebrospinal fluid during the spinal tap.
Introduction:
The nervous system consists of various types of nerves, like motor, sensory, spinal, and cranial nerves. The nerves arising from the brain are the cranial nerves while the nerves arising from the spinal cord are the spinal nerves.

During a lumbar puncture (spinal tap), blood is discovered in thepatient’s CSF. What does this finding suggest?
Hydrocephalus occurs when CSF accumulates in the ventricles and passageways of the brain. Assuming that CSF production isnormal, propose reasons for the accumulation of the fluid.
When their second child was born, Kiko and Taka were told their baby had spina bifida and would be kept in intensive care for a week. After that time, a “shunt” would be put in. Also, immediately after the birth, an operation was performed on the infant’s lower back. The parents were told that this operation went well but that their son would always be a “little weak in the ankles.” Explain the statements in quotation marks in more informative and precise language.

- Please explain what cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is, how it is made (structures involved); and discuss its complete circulation. EXPLANATION ADDRESSING THE QUESTION ABOVE Cerebral spinal fluid is a fluid that cushions the central nervous system and provides buoyancy to and helps nourish the brain. It circulates around the surface of the brain, interior ventricles, and surface of the spinal cord and central canal of the spinal cord. CSF is created by the ependymal cells in the choroid plexus and ventricles of the brain. CSF is made up mostly of water and also includes ions, nutrients like vitamin c and protein, and can pick up waste as it circulates. CSF circulation starts in the lateral ventricle where the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle creates or secretes the CSF. The CSF then flows through the ventricular foramen into the third ventricle. At the third ventricle, the CSF then flows through the cerebral aqueduct into the fourth ventricle. Then, the CSF exits the fourth…arrow_forwardAn anesthetic blocks the function of the dorsal rami of the cervical spinal nerves.
