Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meningocele is a condition where the membranes that cover the brain (meninges) herniate through an opening in the skull. This can cause a fluid-filled sac to protrude from the skull. Cerebrosclerosis is hardening of the brain tissue, not a condition where the meninges herniate. Encephaloma is a tumor of the brain, not a condition where the meninges herniate. Stroke is a condition where the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, not a condition where the meninges herniate. Neuroglia are supportive cells of the nervous system, not a condition where the meninges herniate.
