Question 2
Question
The extension of dura mater that separates the cerebellum from the lower occipital lobe of the brain is called the [blank_start]tentorium cerebelli[blank_end]
Question 3
Question
The cerebellum is connected to the brainstem via 3 white matter tracts called [blank_start]Peduncles[blank_end]
Question 4
Question
The area highlighted in blue is known as the Cerebellar ... ?
Question 5
Question
The Arbor Vitae refers the the cerebellar grey matter.
Question 6
Question

[blank_start]Molecular[blank_end] Layer
[blank_start]Purkinje Cell[blank_end] Layer
[blank_start]Granular Cell[blank_end] Layer
Answer
-
Molecular
-
Purkinje Cell
-
Granular Cell
Question 7
Question
The cerebellar grey matter which is deep to the white matter is referred to as the [blank_start]Deep Cerebellar Nuclei[blank_end]
Question 8
Question
The main function of Purkinje cells are to send [blank_start]Inhibitory[blank_end] signals to the deep cerebellar nuclei in order to regulate the efferent motor signals being projected by the cerebellum.
Question 9
Question
Purkinje cells inhibit Deep Cerebellar Nuclei via the production of the neurotransmitter ...
Answer
-
Glutamate
-
GABA
-
Glucose-1-Phosphate
Question 10
Question
After information has reached the Deep Cerebellar Nuclei, these areas of grey matter project efferent signals via axons which typically synapse in the [blank_start]Thalamus[blank_end] (which part of the brain?)
Question 11
Question
The main functions of the basal ganglia are to facilitate purposeful movements whilst inhibiting unwanted movements.
Question 12
Question
Within the Basal Ganglia, the Lenticular/Lentiform Nucleus is made up of the [blank_start]Putamen[blank_end] superficially and the [blank_start]Globus Pallidus[blank_end] deep.
Question 13
Question
Identify the structures on the diagram below.
Answer
-
Putamen
-
Globus Pallidus
-
Caudate Nucleus
-
Internal Capsule
Question 14
Question
As well as the caudate nucleus and the lentiform nucleus, the basal ganglia also consists of the subthalmic nucleus and the substantia nigra. Which of these areas is thought to be involved with Parkinson's Disease?
[blank_start]Substantia Nigra[blank_end]
Question 15
Question
The Cerebellum is a Contralateral brain. If there is a lesion in the left side, down the line this will affect right sided structures.
Question 16
Question

Answer
-
The Schwann Cells
-
The Axon
-
The Myelin Sheath

Answer
-
The Corpus Callosum
-
The Internal Capsule
-
The Thalamus
Question 18
Question
The Substantia Nigra is a series of [blank_start]black[blank_end] bands in the [blank_start]midbrain[blank_end] that plays an important role in reward and movement systems.
Answer
-
black
-
white
-
grey
-
purple
-
midbrain
-
pons
-
medulla
-
cerebral cortex

Answer
-
Hypokinesia
-
Hemianopia
-
Aphasia
-
Dementia
