Q

Epidural space

A
  • Spinal epidural is done between L3 and S1
  • Spinal tap or epidural is done to inject medications into the cerebrospinl fluid, particularly for spinal anesthesia or chemotherapy
  • Epidural is don to collect cerebrospinal fluid, particularly for spinal when meningitis is suspected.
  • Between the bony vertebrae and spinal dura mater; filled with soft padding of fat and a network of veins

Q

Subdural space

A
  • Filled with Serous fluid
  • The space appears to be widest in the cervical region
  • however, that the spinal subdural space is not a “potential” space at all, but that it occurs as a result of tissue damage which creates a cleft in this area of the meninges

Q

Supe­rior Sagit­tal Sinus

A
  • CSF is absorbed into the dural venus sinuses via the arachnoid villi.
  • dural venus sinuses collect venous blood from the brain and direct it into the internal jugular veins of the neck. It has no valves.

Q

Arachnoid villi

20
Q

3 Main levels of neural integration in the somatosensory system

A
  1. RECEPTOR LEVEL = the sensor receptors
  2. CIRCUIT LEVEL = ascending pathways
  3. PERCEPTUAL LEVEL = neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex
21
Q

Tonic receptors

A
  • do NOT adapt or adapt slowly
  • Pain receptors, propioceptors, DON’T ADDAPT. Blood pressure reseptors.
  • Slow addaptation = Merkel’s discs, Ruffini’s corpuscles and interoceptors that respond to chemical levels in the blood
22
Q

Phasic receptors

A
  • Adapt rapidly
  • Receptors responding to pressure, touch and smell adapt quickly
23
Q

Nerve

A
  • A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of 100s or 1000s peripheral axons.
24
Q

Endoneurium

A

Loose connective tissue that encloses axons and their myelin sheaths

25
Q

Q

What is the largest cranial nerve?

Which parts of the body it innervate?

A

• Nerve V, The Trigeminal nerve,

  1. The ophthalmic nerve (V1) carries sensory information from the scalp and forehead, the upper eyelid, the conjunctiva and cornea of the eye, the nose.
  2. The maxillary nerve (V2) carries sensory information from the lower eyelid and cheek, the upper lip, the upper teeth and gums, the nasal mucosa, the palate and roof of the pharynx, the maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses.
  3. The mandibular nerve (V3) carries sensory information from the lower lip, the lower teeth and gums, the chin and jaw, parts of the external ear. The mandibular nerve carries touch/position and pain/temperature sensation from the mouth. It does not carry taste sensation. The motor root of the mandibular nerve innervates the four muscles of mastication.
