Answer
both true
first true second false
first false second true
both false
Question 2
Question
The Prechodal plate produces FGF to regulate midline structure development of the brain and face. The Anterior Neural Ridge produces SHH to regulate development of the telencephalon.
Answer
Both statements true
First true, second false
First false, second true
Both statements false
Question 3
Question
The prechodal plate is derived from?
Answer
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
Dermis
Question 4
Question
The isthmus is between the forebrain and midbrain and regulates their development. It produces both FGF and WNT.
Answer
Both statements true
First true, second false
First false, second true
Both false
Question 5
Question
Some neurons from the corpus striatum gives rise to part of the cerebral cortex. Most of the cerebral cortex comes from the pallium.
Answer
Both statements true
First true, second false
First false, second true
Both false
Question 6
Question
Which of the following is a vertebral fusion defect where both the neural tissue and meninges protrude?
Answer
spina bifida occulta
meningocele
meningomyelocele
myeloschisis
Arnold-Chiari malformation
Question 7
Question
Which of the following is incorrectly matched?
Answer
Spina Bifida occulta: the bony defect is covered by skin, intact spinal cord
Spina Bifida Cystica: there is a protrusion of meninges and neural tissue (meningomyelocele)
Meningocele: only the meninges protrude
Anencephaly- open brain
Craniorachischisis: neural tube defect at the brain and spinal cord
Question 8
Question
In normal development, the spinal cord elongates faster than the vertebral column. In Spina Bifida Cystica, as the vertebral column elongates, the force stretches the spinal cord which causes the herniation of the cerebellum.
Answer
Both statements true
First true, second false
First false, second true
Both false
Question 9
Question
The bone most frequently affected by neural tube defects is the occipital bone. Small defects can cause meningoencephalocele.
Answer
Both true
First true, second false
First false, second true
Both false
Question 10
Question
Meningoencephalocele is protrusion of just the brain tissue and meninges. Meningohydroencephalocele involves protrusion of the meninges, brain tissue and ventricle.
Answer
Both statements true
First true, second false
First false, second true
Both statements false
Question 11
Question
Which of the following is correct?
Answer
Lobar HPE- one telencephalic vesicle, one eye, one nasal chamber, other midline defects
Alobar HPE- one telencephalic vesicle, one eye, one nasal chamber, other midline defects
Smith-Lemli-Opitz involves EMX 2, is autosomal recessive, assorted defects of face, heart, brain, limbs
Schizencephaly- involves DHCR 7, causes large clefts in cerebral hemispheres
Microcephaly- caused by smaller cranial vault leading to less brain development
Question 12
Question
Hydrocephaly is often due to a blockage in the lateral and third ventricles. The accumulated fluid leads to thinner bones of skull and cerebral cortex and an enlarged head.
