25
arachnoid granulations project
into the superior sagittal sinus
26
cranial meninges
encloses and protects the brain
27
3 layers of meninges
1. dura 2. arachnoid 3. pia
28
tough outer covering of the brain and spinal cord
dura matter
29
dura matter lines
the inner surface of cranium
30
sensory innervation of the dura is primarily from the
3 division of the Trigemnial N. V
31
blood supply of dura matter is _______ | primarily _______
meningeal aa. | middle meningeal a
32
Two layers of Dura
external periosteal layer | inner meningeal layer
33
external periosteal layer is the covering
of the inner surface of the bone
34
inner meningeal layer forms _________ which provide
dural infoldings | support and divide brain into regions
35
dura venous sinuses
spaces between 2 layers of dura
36
Types of Folds
Falx Cerebri Falx Cerebelli Tentorium Cerebelli Diaphragm Sellar
37
Falx Cerebri divides
the right & left cerebral hemispheres
38
Falx Cerebelli partially
divides the 2 halves of the cerebellum
39
Tentorium Cerebelli covers
the cerebellum | separating it from the occipital lobes of cerebrum
40
diaphragm Sellar forms the
roof over hypophysial fossa and pituitary gland
41
diaphragm Sellar is suspended from
clinoid processes of sphenoid bone
42
Dural Venous Sinuses are
endothelial-lined spaces
43
Dural Venous Sinuses form the
venous drainage system of the brain and cranial cavity
44
Major Dural Sinuses
``` Superior Sagittal Inferior Sagittal Straight Transverse Sigmoid Cavernous Superior & Inferior Petrosal ```
45
Straight Sinus is the merging of
inferior sagittal sinus & great cerebral v.
46
Sigmoid Sinus becomes
Internal jugular v. as it exits the skull at jugular foramen
47
Cavernous Sinus is on either side of
sella turcia
48
Superior and Inferior petrosal sinus connects the
cavernous sinus and sigmoid sinus
49
Superior Ophthamlic V. becomes _______ that becomes _______
Ophthalmic v. | Cavernous sinus
50
Contents of the Cavernous Sinus
Internal carotid a. | CN VI
51
located in the wall of the cavernous sinus
CN III CN IV V1 V2
52
infections reaching the cavernous sinus may damage
carotid a CN and possible spread to other sinus
53
Most important connections are between
Ophthalmic vv & cavernous Sinus & pterygoid plexus & cavernous sinus
54
Arachnoid layer adheres to
inner surface of dura
55
Subarachnoid space is between
arachnoid & pia bridged with trabeculae
56
Subarachnoid space is filled with
CSF
57
Subarachnoid space is the location of
cerebral aa. & vv.
58
Arachnoid granulations project from subarachnoid space into
Superior Sagittal Sinus
59
Superior Sagittal Sinus is where
CSF is absorbed in to the venous system
60
Pia layer is the most ______ and follows
inner layer | every fold of the brain
