Question 2
Question

Answer
- True
- False
Question 3
Question
Choose the correct statements about the skull.
Answer
-
It is composed of 7 laterally visible bones and one internally visible bone(ethmoid).
-
There are two frontal bones.
-
The parietal bones sit anterior to the occipital lobe/bone.
-
The temporal bones sit superior to the parietal bones.
-
The sphenoid bone cannot be completely seen from the outside of the skull, but can be seen on both sides
Question 4
Question
Which statement is false?
Answer
-
The coronal suture joins parietal and frontal bones.
-
The lambdoidal suture joins occipital and parietal bones.
-
The squamous suture links the temporal and occipital bones.
Question 5
Question
Choose the correct statements about the infantile skull.
Answer
-
Gaps between sutures are called fontanelles.
-
The naming conventions of the 'sutures' do not change.
-
Fontanelles allow the sutures to develop slowly so that they are structurally solid by adulthood and perform their protective function.
-
Premature closure of fontanelles and formation of sutures can lead to cognitive impairment during puberty or later in life.

-
There are four nasal bones.
-
The mandible is the largest facial bone.

Question
Choose the false statements about the meninges.
Answer
-

-
The dura mater has two layers, the first can form dural reflections.
-
There are four dural reflections which separate regions of the brain.
Question 8
Question

Answer
- True
- False
Question 9
Question
Which statement about the arachnoid layer is false?
Answer
-
It contains blood vessels
-
It extends into the sulci
-
It has granulations/villi which perforate the dura to allow CSF drainage via the venous sinus
Question 10
Question
The pia mater is the most delicate of the meninges, adhering closely to the brain's surface. It is also the only layer which extends into the sulci.
Answer
- True
- False
Question 11
Question
Choose the correct statements about the ventricular system?
Answer
-
CSF is produced by special tissue, the choroid plexus, which lines the ventricles.
-
There are two lateral ventricles, which connect to the third ventricle via the cerebral aqueduct.
-
The third ventricle is superior to the fourth ventricle.
-
The cerebral aqueduct connects to the central canal.
-
CSF leaves to the sub-arachnoid space via the lateral apertures.
Question 12
Question
A [blank_start]blockage[blank_end] in the [blank_start]ventricles[blank_end] increases intracranial pressure. In infants and young children who still have [blank_start]fontanelles[blank_end], this can result in swelling of the ventricles and [blank_start]brain[blank_end] leading to progressive enlargement of the [blank_start]head[blank_end]. Other symptoms include convulsion, tunnel vision, and mental disability.
Answer
-
blockage
-
ventricles
-
fontanelles
-
head
-
brain
