2.2&3 Anatomy of the NS - Meninges, CSF, Blood Supply, Grey & white matter, Spinal Cord Flashcards
MENINGES are the 3 LAYERS of MEMBRANES that cover the Brain and are continuous with the Spinal Cord.
layers:
DURA - TOUGH OUTER LAYER
ARACHNOID - Spider web
PIA - THIN, INNER LAYER that ADHERES to SURFACE of BRAIN/SPINAL CORD
DURA has many different reflections consisting of how many LAYERS
2 LAYERS but only 1 PASSES THROUGH FORAMEN MAGNUM
ARACHNOID is the delicate MIDDLE layer that lines the Dura matter and DEEP to this is the..
SUB-ARACHNOID with CSF
PIA - inner layer firmly attached to surface of brain or spinal cord- FORMS what that ATTACH to ARACHNOID and DURA
DENTICULATE LIGAMENTS
VENTRICULAR SYSTEM of the BRAIN has how many VENTRICLES
how are they named
4
LATERAL ventricles (2)
3RD ventricle (near thalamus)
4TH ventricle (at level of cerebellum)
VENTRICLES of brain do what
CSF - PRODUCTION and CIRCULATION
spaces filled with CSF
CSF is PRODUCED by what in ALL ventricles
CHOROID PROCESS
what does CSF help with
CHEMICAL STABILITY
NUTRIENTS
PROTECTION of brain
how does CSF PASS BETWEEN VENTRICLES
through VENTRICULAR FORAMEN
approx how much CSF in the VENTRICULAR and SUBARACHNOID SPACES
150 ml
CSF is continuously produced by choroid plexus, circulated and REABSORBED into the…
DURAL VENOUS SINUSES
- SUPERIOR SAGITTAL SINUS
through ARACHNOID VILLI
CSF is REABSORBED INTO DURAL VENOUS SINUSES through the …
ARACHNOID VILLI
MOST CSF produced in which Ventricle
LATERAL VENTRICLES (2 of them)
how does CSF LEAVE the 4TH VENTRICLE into Subarachnoid space
via…
3 APERTURES
- MEDIAN aperture aka FORAMEN of MAGENDIE
- 2 LATERAL apertures
CSF travels from LATERAL VENTRICLES through ….. to the 3RD VENTRICLE
(but produced in all ventricles)
INTERVENTRICULAR FORAMEN (of Monro)
CSF travels from 3RD VENTRICLE through ….. to the 4TH VENTRICLE
CEREBRAL AQUEDUCT
and out through 3 apertures
SOME CSF MAY NOT enter the SUPERIOR SAGITTAL SINUS (dural venous sinus)
where might some of it go?
some may enter SMALL ARACHNOID VILLI
projecting into SPINAL VEINS
exiting through INTERVENTRICULAR FORAMINA
in LYMPHATICS, ADVENTITIA of ARTERIES, BASE of BRAIN, EPINEURIUM of CRANIAL NERVES
what is the FORAMEN OF MAGENDIE
name for the MEDIAN APERTURE
- one of the 3 apertures that CSF leaves 4th ventricle via, into subarachidonic space
what rises from the BRACIOCEPHALIC TRUNK (from Arch of Aorta)
(right) COMMON CAROTID ARTERY
(right) SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY
COMMON CAROTID ARTERY BIFURCATES at what LEVEL into the INTERNAL CAROTID and EXTERNAL CAROTID (to face)
around C3-C5
SUBCLAVIAN ARTERIES give rise to…
VERTEBRAL ARTERIES
VERTERBRAL ARTERIES pass THROUGH the TRANSVERSE FORAMEN of the CERVICAL VERTEBRAE at which LEVELS
from C1-C6
VERTEBRAL ARTERIES MERGE to form which artery
BASILAR ARTERY
at the base of the skull
INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY enters the SKULL THROUGH the…
CAROTID CANAL (MIDDLE CRANIAL FOSSA)
ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR BLOOD SUPPLIES coming from 2 PAIRS of ARTERIES:
INTERNAL CAROTID and VERTEBRAL ARTERIES
