Regions |\of |\brain |\development |- |\CORRECT |\ANSWERS |\✔✔By |\the |\5th |
week |\of |\embryonic |\development, |\the |\neural |\tube |\has |\divided |\into |
five |\distinct |\regions: 1)Telencephalon, |\which |\eventually |\turns |\into |\the |\cerebrum. 2)Diencephalon, |\which |\eventually |\turns |\into |\the |\thalamas, |

the |\midsagittal |\plane, |\projects |\into |\the |\longitudinal |\fissure |\between |\the |\left |\and |\right |\cerebral |\hemispheres. |
(b) |\The |\anterior |\attachment |\site |\for |\the |\falx |\cerebri |\is |\the |\crista |

is |\removed |\during |\spinal |\taps, |\many |\persons |\complain |\of |
headaches, |\caused |\in |\part |\by |\a |\loss |\of |\this |\cushioning |\buoyancy. |\2) |\The |\CSF |\provides |\protection |\by |\creating |\a |\liquid |\cushion |\to |\protect |\the |\brain |\from |\sudden |\movements. |(a) |\Read |\about |\brain |\injuries |\in |\the |\clinical |\view |\on |\page |\449..3) |\The |\CSF |\provides |\environmental |
