Summary Introduction

(a)

To determine:

The process by which cerebrospinal fluid is formed and the region where it is formed.

Introduction:

The spinal cord is a thin, tubular, and long structure which is made up of nervous tissues. It extends from the medulla oblongata of the brain to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. It encloses the central canal containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Summary Introduction

(b)

To determine:

The circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.

Introduction:

The cerebrospinal fluid is colorless, clear fluid which is found in the spinal cord and the brain. It acts as a cushion for the spinal cord. It is produced in the choroid plexus of the brain ventricles by ependymal cells.

Summary Introduction

(c)

To determine:

The process by which it is reabsorbed in the vascular system and the place where it occurs.

Introduction:

The cerebrospinal fluid is present in the spinal cord. It is produced by specialized ependymal cells. These cells are present in the choroid plexus. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) acts as a cushioning fluid.

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
