Chapter 15, Problem 1MWE
Summary Introduction

Reduced absorption is the most common type of hydrocephalus. This condition occurs when the passages that connects the ventricles are blocked, thereby, preventing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to its drainage sites present in the subarachnoid space.

Answer to Problem 1MWE

Forming an opening (mouth) in the ventricle is ventriculostomy.

Explanation of Solution

Ventricul/o/stomy: ventricle: organ cavity or chamber that holds or receives fluid; -stoma: mouth.

The word “ventriculostomy” indicates the establishment of an opening in a ventricle. This surgical procedure is especially used in the treatment of hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus occurs as a result of an imbalance existing between the formation and removal of cerebrospinal fluid. Thus, in order to relieve hydrocephalus, an opening is established between the third ventricle (floor) and the interpeduncular cistern. The opening made in the ventricle of the brain is then used to drain the CSF.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
