Mammalian Anatomy HW#--Lymphatic and Nervous



1. __________ lymphatic vessels transport lymph to a lymph node, whereas __________ lymphatic vessels carry lymph away from a lymph node.
Afferent; efferent

2. In the spinal cord, the grey matter is __________ to the white matter.
Deep
                 
3. Dissection Video Activity: Sheep Brain
            a. which of the following ventricles is found under the corpus callosum?
                        Lateral ventricles
 **The lateral ventricles lie side by side under the corpus callosum, separated by the septum pellucidum.

            b. which passageway connects the third and fourth ventricles?
                        Cerebral aqueduct
** The cerebral aqueduct is the narrow passageway that connects the third and fourth ventricles. It can sometimes be observed on a midsagittal section.

            c. Identify the passageway found in the spinal cord that is continuous with the ventricles.
                        Central canal
** The central canal is the canal found in the spinal cord that originates off of the fourth ventricle.

            d. Cerebrospinal fluid is produced within the ventricles.
                        True
** The choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid. It is found in each of the ventricles.

            e. The ventricles are all interconnected.
                        True
** Narrow passageways connect the ventricles together, so that cerebrospinal fluid flows freely inside the ventricular system.

4. The __________ are a series of interconnected cavities that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
Ventricles

The ventricles of the brain are a communicating network of cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and located within the brain parenchyma. The ventricular system is composed of 2 lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, the cerebral aqueduct, and the fourth ventricle

5. __________ contains mostly myelinated nerve fibers, whereas __________ contains mostly unmyelinated nerve fibers.
White matter; gray matter
