Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason due to which the doctor wanted to confirm from the patient whether she is experiencing dizziness or vertigo.
Introduction:
Human ears are assisted with mechanoreceptors that are responsible for the detection of sound waves. In response to sound waves, the auditory nerve fibers generate action potential and send signals to the auditory region of the brain that interprets the sounds. Besides acting as sensory receptors for sounds, the ears also help an individual to maintain the equilibrium by counteracting the atmospheric pressure.

- Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is made by groups of ciliated glial cells called [ Select ] in clumps called (A) [ Select ] which are mostly located in cavities within the brain called (B) ventricles . CSF flows out of those cavities into the (C) ventricular space, which sits deep to the dura mater and is held open by strands of tissue called arachnoid (D) villi . This space surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and carries waste from the CNS to the circulatory system.

- Please explain what cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is, how it is made (structures involved); and discuss its complete circulation. EXPLANATION ADDRESSING THE QUESTION ABOVE Cerebral spinal fluid is a fluid that cushions the central nervous system and provides buoyancy to and helps nourish the brain. It circulates around the surface of the brain, interior ventricles, and surface of the spinal cord and central canal of the spinal cord. CSF is created by the ependymal cells in the choroid plexus and ventricles of the brain. CSF is made up mostly of water and also includes ions, nutrients like vitamin c and protein, and can pick up waste as it circulates. CSF circulation starts in the lateral ventricle where the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle creates or secretes the CSF. The CSF then flows through the ventricular foramen into the third ventricle. At the third ventricle, the CSF then flows through the cerebral aqueduct into the fourth ventricle. Then, the CSF exits the fourth…arrow_forwardVisit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/NYTmotor) to read about an elderly woman who starts tolose the ability to control fine movements, such as speechand the movement of limbs.
