Q

What are ventricles? How many of them are there?

A

They are hollow cavities filled with CSF. There are four of them: 1 in each hemisphere, 1 3rd ventricle, and 1 4th one

28
Q

What is CSF?

A

fluid produced by specialized ependymal cells called the choroid plexus

29
Q

What are the functions of CSF?

A

keeps the brain floating; provides nutrients to the meninges and circulates neuroactive hormones; it collects waste, keeps the brain and spinal cord from directly contacting each other.

30
Q

What is hydrocephalus?

A

water in the brain due to too much CSF build up in the brain or too litte CSF because of disruptions to CSF flow.

31
Q

The _______ supplies blood to the thalamus

A

posterior cerebral artery

32
Q

What cerebral arteries supply blood to the putamen and head of caudate?

A

ACA and MCA

33
Q

What cerebral arteries supply blood to the globus pallidus?

A

MCA and anterior choroidal artery

34
Q

The ______ supplies blood to the tail of caudate

A

anterior choroidal artery

35
Q

The _______ supplies blood to the telencephalon and most of the diencephalon.

A

carotid artery

36
Q

The ______ supplies blood to the cerebellum and brainstem (bits of temporal, occipital, and diencephalon)

A

vertebral basilar artery

37
Q

Where is the anterior cerebral artery located?

A

superior to the optic nerve

38
Q

Where is the middle cerebral artery located?

A

by the lateral sulcus

39
Q

What parts of the brain does the ACA supply blood to ?

A

The medial parietal and frontal lobes

40
Q

What parts of the brain does the MCA supply blood to?

A

the lateral frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes of the brain

41
Q

What does the dura mater protect the brain from?

A

it protects the brain from the bony projections of the skull

42
Q

What are the two layers of the dura mater?

A

periosteal layer and meningeal layer

43
Q

There should be no space between the

A

periosteal layer and bones that protect the CNS

44
Q

If trauma to the brain creates a space between the periosteal layer and bones of the CNS, then what is that space called?

A

epidural space

45
Q

What are hemorrhages between dura mater and arachnoid mater called?

A

subdural hematomas

46
Q

What are some of the enfoldings of the dura mater?

A

falx cerebri, falx cerebelli, and tentorium cerebelli

47
Q

Where is the falx cerebri?

A

it extends from dura mater covering the sagittal sulcus down into the gap between the left and right hemispheres

48
Q

Where is the falx cerebelli?

A

extends into the left and right areas of the cerebellum

49
Q

Where is the tentorium cerebelli?

A

it extends horizontally in the space between occipital lobe and cerebellum

50
Q

The _____ space has the cerebellum and brainstem, whereas the ______ space has the left and right hemispheres.

A

infratentorial space; supratentorial space

51
Q

What is the subarachnoid space?

A

space between the arachnoid mater and pia mater that has CSF.

52
Q

What are the arachnoid granulations?

A

protrusions on the arachnoid membrane that absorb CSF into the bloodstream

53
Q

What does the pia mater stick to?

A

It sticks to the cerebrum

54
Q

What lining of the blood vessel doesn’t let large molecules pass through?

A

endothelial (inner) lining

55
Q

The choroid plexus has what type of lining?

A

epithelial lining

56
Q

Communicating hydrocephalus is

A

arachnoid villi do not reabsorb CSF

57
Q

Noncommunicating hydrocephalus is

A

issue with CSF flow in the ventricles
