ANATOMY 2 Flashcards
what are the 3 layers of eninges
dura mater
arachnoid mater
pia mater
what provides sensory supply to dura mater
CN V
what is contained within dura mater
dural venous sinuses
what are 3 important parts of dura
diaphragm sellae
tentorium cerebelli
falx cerebri
what is diaphragm sellae
covers pituitary fossa
what is tentorium cerebelli
covers cerebellum with a central gap for the brainstem
what is falx cerebri
separates right and left hemispheres
where does superior sagittal sinus lie
superior border of falx cerebri
where does inferior sagittal sinus lie
inferor border of falx cerebri
what is straight sinus
travels infero-posterior in head
formed of inferior sagittal sinus and great cerebral vein
what is confluence of sinuses
joining of superior sagittal sinus and straight sinus
what structures does confluence drain to before reaching internal jugular
transverse sinus then sigmoid sinus
where does CSF sit
subarachnoid space (brain) central canal (spinal cord)
3 lobes of cerebellum
anterior
posterior
flocculonodular
what attaches cerebellum to brain stem
3 peduncles:
superior
middle
inferior
