Q

Dura Mater coverings

A

1) Falx cerebri
- attached anteriorly to crista galli and posteriorly to tentorium cerebelli
- seperates cerebral hemispheres
2) Falx cerebelli
- Separates cerebellum hemispheres
3) Tentorium cerebelli
- Separates cerebrum and cerebellum
4) Diaphragma sellae
- Covers the sella turcica and acts as the roof of pituitary fossa

Q

Arachnoid mater

A
  • Forms Blood brain barrier (BBB)
  • Covers gyri only
  • Arachnoid granulations – extend into venous sinuses to return CSF back to bloodstream

Q

Venous sinuses

A

1) Superior sagittal sinus (runs along superior border of falx cerebri)
2) Inferior sagittal sinus (runs along inferior border of falx cerebri)
3) Confluence of sinuses
4) Transverse sinus
5) Sigmoid sinus
6) Internal jugular vein (leaves cranial cavity via foramen magnum)

Q

Ventricular system

A
  • Transportation of CSF throughout cranial cavity
  • CSF produced by ependymal cells (+ blood vessels) that lines the choroid plexus

Journey of CSF through ventricular system

1) Left and right Lateral ventricles (in each cerebral hemisphere)
- Frontal (anterior) horn
- Temporal (inferior) horn
- Occipital (posterior) horn
2) Interventricular foramen (of Monro)
3) 3rd ventricle
4) Cerebral aqueduct
5) 4th ventricle

CSF then enters to sub-arachnoid space and returns to bloodstream via arachnoid granulations projecting into venous sinuses
