Summary
This document is a study guide for the central nervous system (CNS). It includes questions on various topics related to the brain, spinal cord, and related structures. The guide covers the four main regions of the brain, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and blood brain barrier. It also touches on specialized areas like tracts, diencephalon, brain stem, cerebellum, and limbic system.

Can you describe the four main regions of the brain and their functions? Do you know the purpose and location of the meninges relative to the brain and spinal cord? Can you describe CSF including its production, circulation, purpose, and composition? Can you describe the components of the blood brain barrier and the function of the BBB? Do you know the three major types of tracts (fibers) in the brain? Are tracts white or grey matter? Can you describe the localized regions of the brain for motor and various sensory functions? Do you know the three main parts of the diencephalon and what are their functions? Do you know three major regions of the brain stem and what are their functions? Can you decribe the function of the cerebellum and its relationship with other brain regions? Can you describe the parts of the brain are integrated to form the limbic system? Can you describe the major anatomical regions of the spinal cord? Upper Level: Apply, Evaluate, and Analyze Can you compare and contrast CSF with plasma? Can you use the humunculi to localize regions of the responsible for motor control and sensation in specific body regions? Can you predict the effects of damage on specific regions of the cerebral cortex, basal nuclei, diencephalon, and cerebellum? Can you apply your knowledge of the brain stem to explain why damage here would be fatal? Can you apply your knowledge of the limbic system to explain connections between emotions, sensation, and homeostatic mechanisms?
