Exam 5 Flashcards
(111 cards)
scalp layers
- skin
- connective tissue
- aponeurosis
- loose connective tissue
- pericranium
scalp muscles attach to:
aponeurosis on either end
- frontalis
- occipitalis
CN V
- trigeminal
1. opthalmic
2. maxillary
3. mandibular
scalp is innervated by:
-trigeminal nerve Dorsal rami: -suboccipital C1 -greater occipital C2 -least occipital C3 Ventral rami: -no named/direct branch -lesser occipital C2/3 -great auricular and transverse cervical C2/3
trigeminal neuralgia
- compression of trigeminal nerve root
- hyperexcitability over select trigger zones (face, lips, tongue)
- sharp electric shock for few seconds to minutes
which scalp layer is vasculature located in:
connective tissue; layer 2
danger area for scalp infections
- layer 4; loose connective tissue
- passes easily into cranial cavity via veins
nerve supply of dura mater
*CN V all branches of trigeminal
-CN XII hypoglossal
-CN X vagus
*C1-C3 dorsal rami
C1-C2 ventral rami
blood supply to dura mater
middle menigeal artery
-arises from maxillary artery which arises from external carotid a.
sub-arachnoid space contains:
- CSF
- cerebral vasculature
falx cerebrum
- separates cerebral hemispheres
- attached anteriorly to cristae galli and fused posteriorly with horizontal dural fold (tentorium cerebelli)
falx cerebelli
seperates cerebellar hemispheres
occipital sinus lies in:
attached margin of falx cerebelli
straight sinus lies:
at the fusion of falx cerebrum and tentorium cerebelli
inferior sagittal sinus lies
in the free edge of the falx cerebrum
superior sagittal sinus lies
in attached margin of falx cerebrum
tentorium cerebelli
-forms horizontal shelf that supports overlying cerebral hemispheres from crushing underlying cerebellar hemispheres
left and right transverse sinuses lie:
in the attached edges of the tentorium cerebelli
diaphragma sellae
- dural fold stretched across the sella turcica
- attached to anterior and posterior clinoid processes
functions of CSF
- buoyance
- protection
- chemical stability
- prevent brain ischemia
CSF is made of
plasma
protein
glucose
lateral ventricles connect to the 3rd ventricle by
foramen of monro
structures that go through the optic canal:
- optic nerve
2. opthalmic artery
structures that go through the superior orbital fissure
- superior ophthalmic vein
- lacrimal nerve
- frontal nerve
4 trochlear nerve
5 abducens nerve - oculomotor nerve
- nasociliary nerve
