Ch. 16 Flashcards
average weight of brain
3 pounds
how many liters of the brain
1.3 L
brain is like food
jello
how much of body mass is the brain
2%
how much cardiac output does the brain get
20%
brain amount of neural tissue
95%
20-21 days post conception we see brain embryology
ectoderm thickens to become neural plate
neural plate as 20-21 days with neural folds becoming
neural groove
neural folds eventually grow to midline and make follow tube called
neurocoel
very center of neuro tube is
neurocoel
after neural tube forms 3-4 week of gestation
anterior neural tube get swellings called primary brain vesicles
what is the very front of the brain vesicles
prosencephalon
behind the prosencephalon is the
mesencephalon
what is behind the mesencephalon
rhombencephalon
after the primary brain vesicles develop prosencephalon and rhombencephalon seperate to make
secondary brain vesicles
after the primary brain vesicles develop prosencephalon and rhombencephalon seperate to make
secondary brain vesicles
prosencephalon gives rise to
telencephalon
telencephalon ends up being the
largest portion of the cerebrum
diencephalon arises from the
prosencephalon
diencephalon includes
thalamus and hypothalums
mesencephalon gives rise to
midbrain
rhombencephalon seperates to
metencephalon and myelencephalon
mentencephalon gives rise to
cerebellum and pons
myelencephalon gives rise to
spinal cord medulla oblongata
ventricles are important because they are filled with
cerebrospinal fluid
first two ventricles are the
lateral ventricles
lateral ventricles are enclosed within
cerebral hemispheres
third ventricles openings from
lateral
opening from lateral to third ventricle
interventricular foramina
canal within the mesencephalon
cerebral aquadecut
cerebral aquadduct connects third ventricle with
fourth ventricle
fouth ventricle connects to
central canal of spinal cord and to the subarachnoid space
what protects the brain first
bones
cranial meninges are continuous with the
spinal meninges
dura mater splits into
2 different sublayers
dura mater layer that is closer to skull
endosteal cranial dura
deep layer of dura mater is the
meningeal cranial dura
between two layers of the dura mater is the
dural sinuses
dural sinuses work like
veins
folds of dura mater that help support brain
falx cerebri and tentorium cereblli
falx cerebri connects to the
cristi galli of the ethmoid
tentorium cerebelli help
support cerebellum
pass through dura matter which leads to arachnoid mater has most
cerebral spinal fluid flowing
connection between subarachoid space and dural sinus
arachnoid granulations
arachnoid granulations allow
cerebral spinal fluid to pass into the dural passes mixing it with blood
after arachnoid mater is the pia mater lines
every grove and every fold
astrocytes in pia mater
anchor it to the brain, very vascular
cerebrospinal fluid is a fluid
lymph like
cerebrospinal fluid helps transport
nutrients, chemicals, and waste products
amount of cerebrospinal fluid
150 ml and replaces every 8 hrs
we make cerebrospinal fluid through
choroid plexuses
choroid plexuses are for
each ventricle of the brain
choroid plexus specialized capillary
very permeable
to take things out of blood
ependymal cells
where does cerebrospinal fluid go after produce
lateral to third to cerebral aquaduct to fourth ventricle then pass to spinal cord or majority go to medial or lateral apertures
eventual CSF will make it to the superior region to the
arachnoid granulations
blood brain barrier maintains
chemical environment
