Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) = fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord
Continually made from blood plasma in choroid plexuses which hang from the “roof” of the brains ventricles.
Circulates continuously by being produced and then drained back into blood plasma to keep a constant volume of about 150 ml.
Function: protection
Spinal Tap = sampling technique to test CSF.Hydrocephalus = “water on the brain”

BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER Keeps neurons separated from blood-borne substances.
Made of LEAST PERMEABLE capillaries in the body. Can’t keep out
fats, respiratory gases, alcohol, nicotine, or anesthetics.

Brain Injuries
Traumatic Brain Injuries and Brain DysfunctionsTraumatic Brain Injuries and Brain Dysfunctions
Head injuries are the leading cause of accidental death in the USA.
Concussion = slight injury, dizziness, brief loss of consciousness.http://www.pennmedicine.org/encyclopedia/em_DisplayAnimation.aspx?gcid=000034&ptid=17
Contusion = marked tissue destruction, coma
Cerebral Edema = swelling of the brain, death

Stroke = cerebrovascular accident (CVA) occurs when circulation is cut off to the brain.

Aphasia = result of damage to left cerebral hemisphere, affects speech.
motor aphasia = affects Broca’s area and loss of speechsensory aphasia = loss of understanding of language
TIA = transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke)
