Veins 200 This structure drains blood from the area of the hypothalamus and hypophysis (pituitary gland). What is the cavernous sinus? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Veins 300 These structures drain blood around the lateral surface of the brainstem just above the cerebellum. What are the transverse sinuses? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Veins 400 This structure empties blood from the brain into the jugular vein. What is the sigmoid sinus? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Veins 500 This structure delivers blood from the thalamus and deep white matter of the brain out to the surface. What is the straight sinus? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous 100 Although the brain accounts for only about 2% of body mass, it is responsible for this percent of oxygen consumption at rest. What is 20%? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous 200 This anestomosis connects the major arteries of the brain. What is the circle of Willis? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous 300 These arteries connect the carotid and vertebrobasilar systems. What are the posterior communicating arteries? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous 400 This is the brain’s only source of energy. Because of this the brain requires a constant supply of oxygen and glucose making it susceptible to ischemia. What is aerobic or oxidative metabolism? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board

Miscellaneous 500 This artery perfuses the thalamus and hypothalamus. What is the posterior cerebral artery? Click to reveal the question Return to Return to Game Board Game Board
