Chapter 15 Study guide Flashcards
Rostral
more anterior brain structures
caudal
more posterior brain structures
gray matter of brain
superficial to white matter
cerebral cortex
white matter of brain
deep to gray matter
composed of tracts myelinated nerve fibers
brainstem
diencephalon (thalamus)
mesencephalon (midbrain)
metencephalon (pons)
myelencephalon (medulla oblongata)
meninges of brain
dura mater
arachnoid mater
pia mater
dura mater
periosteal layer (superficial)
meningeal layer (deep)
ventricles of brain
2 lateral
interventricular foramen
third ventricle
cerebral aquaduct
fourth ventricle
choriod plexuses
lateral
third and fourth ventricles
produce CSF
CSF function
buoyancy
physical protection
and chemical stability for CNS
CSF Flow through the brain
secreted by Choroid Plexus
through intraventricular foramina
choroid plexus in third ventricle adds more CSF
down through cerebral aquaduct
choroid plexus in fourth ventricle adds more CSF
out 2 lateral and one median aperature
fills subarachnoid space covering external surface of brain and spinal cord
arachnoid villi reabsord in venous blood of dural venous sinuses
CSF Flow
1
Secreted by choroid plexus in each lateral ventricle
CSF Flow
2
flows through intraventricular foramina into third ventricle
CSF Flow
3
Chrooid plexus in third ventricle adds more CSF
CSF Flow
4
CSF flows down cerebral aquaduct to fourth ventricle
CSF Flow
5
Choroid plexus in fourth ventricle adds more CSF
CSF Flow
6
CSF flows out 2 lateral and one median aperature
CSF Flow
7
CSF fills subarachnoid space and bathes external surfaces of brain and spinal cord
CSF Flow
8
Arachnoid villi reabsorb CSF into venous blood of dural venous sinuses
