Answer 1

1. pain affecting many nerves is known as polyneuralgia. Many peripheral nerves are affected at same time in this condition.

2. abnormal softening of nerve tissue is neuromalacia. It can result from head injury.

3. inflammation of the meninges and the brain is meningoencephalitis.

4. the term meaning any pathological condition of the spinal cord is myelopathy.

5. abnormal softening of the brain is encephalomalacia.

6. inflammation of the meninges, brain and spinal cord is meningoencephalomyelitis.

10.91 – cerebral cortex – outer layer of cerebrum associated with thought process.

10.92 – frontal lobe – controls the behaviour and personality and help in movement. Associated with thinking and concentration.

10.93 – temporal lobe – it is associated with language, memory and hearing.

10.94 – parietal lobe – associated with sensation and awareness.

10.95 – occipital lobe – associated with vision and perception.

10.96 – thalamus – sensory nerves pass through it.

10.97 – hypothalamus – it controls endocrine system and associated with sleep, and body temperature.

10.98 – medulla – part of brain stem

10.99 – spinal cord – peripheral nerves run through it.

10.100 - cerebellum –associated with muscle movement and balance.
