Q

T/F dura mater is connected by little fibers by subarachnod membrane

A

F. pia mater

28
Q

T/F dural Partitions are double layers sheets of meningeal dura

A

T

29
Q

There are several dural partitions within the cranial cavity and they include:

A

Falx cerebri Tentorium cerebelli- partitions between cerebellum and inferior portions of occipital bones

30
Q

T/F dural partions are meningeal layers of dura that go between hemispheres and between cerebral hemispheres of the cerebellum

A
31
Q

Superior sagittal sinus goes down the ____

A

midddle

32
Q

superior sagittal sinus is where recycling excess ____ occurs

A

CSF

33
Q

where does the recycled CSF from superior sagittal sinus go? and then drains into what vein to go into the rest of system?

A

dural sinus , jugular vein

34
Q

what does the superior sagittal do in 24 hours describe the process

A

produces fluid, floats brain, recycles into veins starts over

35
Q

cavernous sinus is the ___ portion of brain, around sphenoid bone and pituitary

A

central

36
Q

what cranial nerves does the cavernous sinus surround and nerves and the bony portion that houses the pituitary

A

CN 3,4,6, possibly 5

two branches maxillary V2 and ophthalmic V1

sella turcica

37
Q

T/F cavernous sinus thrombosis ( blood clot can affect vision by squeezing the nerves) infections can spread into brain and affect vision

A

T

38
Q

What other vessles pass through the cavernous sinus

A

carotid vessels

39
Q

 Venous drainage of orbit will drain back into cavernous system; when draining blood from arteries after being used by brain, don’t send it willsend back

A

F wont send back

40
Q

T/F can not affect dural sinuses

A

T

41
Q

Cavernous sinus helps ___ the brain

A

cool

42
Q

What makes the CSF ?

A

extra ions , glucose help make it weightless , protects it between layers of meninges

43
Q

What is the fluid that is removed during a Spinal tap from the base of the spinal cord?

A

CSF

44
Q

T/F Spinal taps are used only for dx purposes (bacteria, blood, ion imbalances) unless it’s an emergency-type situation

A

T

45
Q

What is the reason why a patient must remain laying down 4-6 hours after a spinal tap?

A

Don’t want to be sitting up because when you take out the fluid, the brain starts to settle and heads through foramen magnum

46
Q

T/F CSF is produced by choroid plexes (combination of capillaries and glial cells) that take fluid from blood by way of capillaries and leave everything behind but the water, ions, and glucose and resecrete into these spaces surrounding & inside of the brain

A

True

47
Q

What is the CSF production rate per day and what is the total volume it holds in spaces?

A

Production Rate = 500cc/day, produces 3x as much CSF/day than you need, extra is recycled it back into venous system
Total Volume held in spaces = 150cc (0.5 cup)

48
Q

 What happens if the CSF system is blocked and unable to recycle and drain through arachnoid villi? Can occur in adults, kids or infants?

A

Could build up pressure on brain (hydrocephalus: water on brain). Rare in adults, most coomon in kids and infants (especially in infants)

49
Q

Why is pressure on brain, hydrocephalus more coomon in kids and infants?

A

Infants because skull isn’t fused; skull is still soft and enough pressure to make skull out of proportion; can cause blockage of CSF recycling unit

(hydrocephalus means water on the brain)

50
Q

What is a treatment for a CSF recycling unit blockage?

A

create a bypass, put shunt in. It is not life threatening if caught soon enough

51
Q

T/F The Brain is 6 lbs. of soft tissue that has consistency of custard and shakes like jello

A

False, Brain is 3 lbs. of soft tissue that has consistency of custard and shake like jello

52
Q

Can the brain feel actual pain?

A

NO. The tissues of the brain don’t have sensory neurons, therefore the brain cannot feel pain

53
Q

T/F Headache is pain developed from the brain

A

F  Headaches: pain developed from meninges (specifically the meningeal arteries in the dura), not the brain itself

54
Q

 T/F Traumatic brain inury (TBI): bleeding on brain is not characterized by pain; pressure on brain not actually felt; meninges sometimes don’t even report it immediately

A

True

55
Q

Know the layer order

A
56
Q

T/F Subdural or Epidural Hematomas are not dangerous because unable to feel it and report the pain

A

False Subdural or Epidural Hematomas ARE dangerous because unable to feel it and report the pain (most serious type; must recognize the symptoms)

57
Q

T/F we produce 3 x as much as we need in one day of CSF

A

T

58
Q

In hydrocephalus where can blockage occure , what two places?

A

arachnoid villus (recycling part of CSF)

and choroid plexus (CSF is produced)

59
Q

Subarachnoid hemorrhage: pain is/is not reported

A

Subarachnoid hemorrhage: pain IS reported because they are painful

60
Q

How many ventricles are conintuous with the Subarachnoid space?

A

4

61
Q

Bleeding puts ______ on brain, only one place for it to go is through foramen ______ squeezing brain stem, which could stop breathing and cause ____.

A

pressure, magnum, death Treatment was to drill hole in brain to remove blood and decrease pressure (trepanation)
o 10,000 yrs ago: trepanation was done

62
Q

Cerebral aquaduct connects which ventricles?

A

3 and 4

63
Q
A
64
Q

T/F pressure on the brain is always felt

A

F. in your brain you actually cant feel pain, dangerous for injuries because pressure on the brain is not actually felt

65
Q

During a headache it is the ____ that sends pain signals not the brain itself

A

meninges
