Question
Chapter 43.2, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The effects that a patient might have by a procedure in which the physicians withdrew cerebrospinal fluid from the bottom of the spine.
Introduction: Human brain contains a small region between the middle membrane (arachnoid mater) and pia mater. This region is known as subarachnoid space. This space contains an important fluid known as cerebrospinal fluid.

- You are trying to explain the ventricular system of the brain to your younger sister. You tell her the following: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed as a filtrate of blood at the level of a choroid plexus. It passes through ependymal cells to the space between the arachnid mater and pia mater. Once it has traveled around the periphery of the brain within this space between those two meninges, the CSF then accumulates in the third ventricle. Once there, it passes to the fourth ventricle via the cerebral aqueduct and then travels via the central canal to the spinal cord. It is finally reabsorbed by the arachnoid granulations. The cerebrospinal fluid is turned over about three times every 24 hours. What error did you make in this description?

About 70% of people with epilepsy can be treated with medication to prevent seizures from occurring. If medication does not work, surgery is an option for some patients. One of the procedures involves cutting the brain so that the seizures cannot be spread to other parts of the brain. A common goal of the surgical procedure to treat epileptic seizures is to reduce the connection between the two hemispheres of the brain. By cutting through this structure, an epileptic seizure occurring on one side of the brain will not be spread to the other side. Identify the structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.arrow_forward

- 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.arrow_forwardYou are walking to class, pondering the intricacies of physiology, when you trip over an uneven place in the sidewalk and fall.
