Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
CSF is reabsorbed through a pressure gradient between the arachnoid villi and the cerebral ve-nous sinuses. CSF absorption does not occur in the epidural foramina, the lateral apertures, or the choroid plexuses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Endothelial cells in brain capillaries, with their intracellular tight junctions, are the sites of the BBB. Supporting cells include astrocytes, pericytes, and microglia. Schwann cells provide struc-tural support and nutrition for the neurons. Oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheaths.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
