What is the skull bone where the forehead and a little further back is?
Frontal bone
What is the bone posterior to the frontal bone?
Parietal bone
What is the large circular bone on both sides of the head?
Temporal bone
What is the small bone anterior to the temporal bone and posterior to the eyes?
Sphenoid bone
What is the large rounded triangular proccess inferior to the temporal bone?
Mastoid bone
What is the hole next to the mastoid bone and the temporal bone?
External acoustic meatus
Where can the sphenoid bone be visualised looking face on with a skull?
in the eye cavity
Where is the nasal bone on a face on skull?
on the top of the nose
Where is the mandible
lower jaw bone
Where is the maxilla?
Upper jaw bone
Where is the zygomat?
Cheek bone
Where is the ethmoid bone located in a front facing skull?
Kind of upper nose at the back (given the nose is just a big hole)
What is the nmeumonic for bony foramina?
Children –> cribriform plate
Of –> Optic Canal
Slovakia –> Superior Orbital Fissure
Release –> Foramen Rotundum
Odourless –> Foramen Ovale
Shit –> Foramen Spinosum
Constantly –> Carotid Canal
In –> Internal acoustic meatus
John –> Jugular Foramen
Hunter –> Hypoglossal Canal
What bone is the cribriform plate?
Ethmoid bone
What is a general way to remember what things runs through the bony foramina?
Generally count up
Where is the hypoglossal canal located?
Immediately next to the foramen magnum (on both sides)
What runs through the hypoglossal canal?
CN12
Where is the cribiform plate in terms of skull foramina and what does it look like?
Most anterior (Children) –> looks like bubbly bone in the area of the nose (medial)
What is the second bony foramina?
Optical canal
Where is the optical canal and what runs through it?
It is located medially at the base of the two claw looking structures
CN2 –> optic nerve runs through
Where is the superior orbital fissure located?
At the base of the class structures but not an visible hole
What runs through the superior orbital fissue?
3,4,V(1)
Where is the foramen rotundum?
just lateral and behind the claw structure –> small hole
What runs through the foramen rotundum?
V(2)
Where is the foramen ovale located?
Obvious oval hole just near foramen rotundum (slightly lateral and posterior)
What runs through the foramen ovale?
V(3)
Where is foramen spinosum?
lateral dark hole from obvious ovale
What runs through spinosum?
MMA and meningeal V3
Where is the carotid canal?
just posterior from ovale –> not super obvious looks like a bone ledge
What runs through the carotid canal?
ICA –> inner carotid artery
Where is the internal aucoustic meatus?
Big obvious hole posterior from the carotid canal
What runs through the internal aousitic meatus?
CN 7 and CN 8 –> facial and vestibular nerves
Where is the jugular foramen?
lateral of the hypoglossal foramen
under the internal acoustic meatus
obvious hole
What are the two layers of the dura mater?
periosteal –> outer
meningeal –> inner
What is the difference between the periosteal and meningeal dura layers?
periosteal –> around the bone (has no folds)
Meningeal –> (has folds)
What connects the ventricle system to the sub arachnoid space?
Median and Lateral apertures
What does the ICA branch off?
ICA (internal carotid artery) –> branches from common carotid (around C4)
What does the VA branch off?
VA (ventral artery)–> –> first branch off subclavian
SPINE ANATOMY AND BRAINSTEM
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA
What is the Globus pallietus and the putamen?
Lentiform nucleus
What is the dorsal striatum made from?
Caudate and Putamen
What is the structure very close to the lateral ventricles in a coronal brain slice?
Caudate
Where is the thalamus?
Structure very close to the 3rd ventricle (either side of) –> thalamus just above the midbrain
What is the structure that has some connections to the caudate?
Putamen
What is the tract (white) between the caudate and the putamen?
Internal capsule
Where does a lacunar stroke happen?
Could be in the small capillaries of the internal capsule
What is the symptoms of lacunar strokes normally?
Mostly motor only (pure motor) –> but can have some sensory symptoms
Where is the Globus paletius?
It is the 2 smaller segments of ice-cream than the putamen –> having 2 separate names for each (external and internal)
What is the cerebral hemispheres classified as?
Telencephalon
What is contained in the diencephalon?
Thalamus, hypothalamus (di = 2 = 2 2 things)
What is the top part of the midbrain?
Mesencephalon
Where is the Metencephalon?
Middle of the midbrain
What is the name for the medulla (bottom of the midbrain)?
Myelencephalon
