1. ¿qué es la encefalopatía traumática crónica (etc) y por qué es tan “mala”?
2. ¿cómo crees que te va esta clase en lo que va del semestre? ¡explica tu respuesta!

Explanation:

1. A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood between the dura - mater (the outermost of the three membranes that cover the brain) and the arachnoid mater. It usually occurs due to head trauma and can cause increased intracranial pressure and neurological symptoms.

a. The dura - mater is the layer of the head that has a tough membrane to protect the brain. So, it should be matched with "Duramadre".
b. The arachnoid mater is not the layer that supplies blood to the brain. There is an error in this description. The blood - supply to the brain comes from cerebral arteries. But if we match based on the options, it should be matched with "Aracnoides".
c. The pia - mater (pastel mater in the question, likely a misspelling) is the innermost layer of the meninges and helps cushion the brain to absorb impacts. So, it should be matched with "pastel mater".
d. The skull (cráneo in Spanish) is the outer layer of hard bones that protect the brain. So, it should be matched with "Cráneo (huesos del cráneo)".

1. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in people with a history of repetitive brain trauma, such as concussions and other sub - concussive blows to the head. It is considered "bad" because it can cause a range of symptoms including memory loss, confusion, depression, aggression, and eventually dementia.
2. This is a subjective question asking about one's perception of how a class is going so far in the semester. Responses would vary based on individual experiences, such as understanding of the material, performance on assignments, and engagement in class activities.

Answer:

1. A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood between the dura - mater and the arachnoid mater, often due to head trauma.
2. a. Duramadre

b. Aracnoides
c. pastel mater (pia - mater)
d. Cráneo (huesos del cráneo)

1. CTE is a progressive degenerative brain disease from repetitive brain trauma. It's bad because it causes memory loss, confusion, depression, aggression, and dementia.
2. Responses vary based on individual experiences in the class such as understanding of material, assignment performance, and class engagement.
