26
Posterior to the ear, nerve supply to the scalp is from the?
Cervical spinal nerves
27
What are the 3 layers of meninges surrounding the brain?

28
The dura mater consist of 2 layers what are these layers?
1) Endocranium (endosteum) 2) Meningeal dura
29
what is the INNER layer of the dura mater called?
Meningeal dura
30
What is the outer layer of the dura mater that fuses to the skull called?
Endocranium (also known as the endosteal dura)
31
What are the types of Dural folds?
1) Falx cerebri 2) tentorium cerebelli 3) Falx cerebelli 4) Diaphragma sella
32

Falx cerebri
33
What forms a tent over the cerebellum?
Tentorium cerebelli
34
This is sickle-shaped dural fold inferior to the surface of the tentorium cerebelli -it separates the right and left cerebellar hemispheres
Falx cerebelli
35
This is a small, circular, horizontal sheet of dura that forms a roof over the HYPOPHYSEAL fossa in the sella turcica -it is pierced by the HYPOPHYSEAL STALK (infundibulum)
Diaphragma Sella
36
What are the two attachment points, anterior and posterior, of the flax cerebri?
The falx cerebri attaches anteriorly to the crista galli and posteriorly to the tentorium cerebelli at the location of the internal occipital protuberance
37
Both the endocranium (endosteal dura) and the meningeal dura adhere to each other except at certain locations where they separate, called?
Dural sinuses
38
What are spaces that contain blood and absorbed cerebrospinal fluid?
Dural sinuses
39
Dura blood supply comes from the?
Middle meningeal artery
40
What branches off the maxillary artery coming oof the external carotid and courses external to the dura mater -the inner surface of the calvaria contains indentations vessels
middle meningeal artery
41
Major type of brain herniations
1) Subfalcine/cingulate 2) Transtentorial/ uncal 3) Tonsillar
42
When the 2 layers of dura mater separate this is called?
Sinus
43
What is actually a vein lined with endothelium that is not collapsible?
Sinus
44
The dural sinus drain blood and absorbed CSF from the brain; they all flow toward what?
INTERNAL jugular vein
45
What lies in the median plane on the superior portion of the falx cerebri?
Superior sagittal sinus
46
the superior sagittal sinus connects with the diploic veins, and lateral expansions of the superior sagittal sinus called ?
lateral lacunae
47
What drains posteriorly into the confluence of sinuses (or CONFLUENCE)
Superior sagittal sinus
48
What lies in the median plane but on the inferior portion of the falx cerebri? -it drains posteriorly into the STRAIGHT sinus
Inferior sagittal sinus
49
What is found between the junction of the falx cerebri and the tentorium cerebelli?
straight sinus

What extends from the transverse sinus and courses in an S-shape along the petrous portion of the temporal bone to the jugular foramen, where it continues in the neck as the INTERNAL, jugular vein?
Sigmoid sinus
57
What are found LATERAL to the sella turcica on each side? -they are named this because of there cavelike appearance
two Cavernous sinuses
58

61
Which artery courses in the LATERAL fissure of the cerebrum?
Middle cerebral artery
62
The vertebral artery branches off of the ________________ artery and travels upward through the foramina in the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae It passes through the foramen magnum and joins the vertebral artery from the opposite side to form the ___________________ This vessel courses along a groove on the PONS and divides into the two ____________________________________
1) SUBCLAVIAN 2) Basilar artery 3) Posterior cerebral arteries
