16
Q

Dura mater =

A

outermost component of meninges.

- outer surface adheres to the skull, inner surface attaches to next layer, the arachnoid

17
Q

Bleeding above the dura (outer surface) =

Bleeding below the dura (inner surface) =

A

epidural (extradural) hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage

18
Q

Accumulation of blood =

A

hematoma

19
Q

Dural reflections (4) (or dural septum)=

A

inner dural layer folds in on itself

  1. Falx Cerebri
  2. falx cerebelli
  3. Tentorium Cerebelli
  4. Diaphragma Sellae
20
Q

Arachnoid =

A

middle layer of meninges

  • no blood vessels
  • does not conform closely to contours of the brain
  • Creates space between it and the next layer (pia mater) - called subarachnoid space
  • This space is filled with cerebrospinal fluid
  • Some large spaces at the base of the brain between arachnoid and pia mater = cisterns
21
Q
  • Some large spaces at the base of the brain between arachnoid and pia mater =
A

cisterns

22
Q

Pia Mater =

A
  • inner most layer of meninges
  • adheres closely to the surface of the brain
  • inner surface contains no blood vessels
  • outer surface has veins and arteries
  • bleeding between pia mater and arachnoid
23
Q

bleeding between pia mater and arachnoid =

A

subarachnoid hemorrhage

24
Q

Cerebrospinal fluid =

Fills the =

A

bathes the entire CNS

  • subarachnoid space
  • subarachnoid cisterns, large cavities deep within the brain called ventricles
25
Q

T/F - Brain’s right and left hemispheres are not separate entities

A

True

26
Q

Hemispheres are connected by:

A

band of fibers/nerves - corpus callosum

  3. brainstem
  4. cerebellum
29
Q

Cerebrum is the surface of the brain with gyri and sulci

A

(ridges), (Grooves)

30
Q

Two prominent gyri =

A

precentral gyrus & postcentral gyrus

31
Q

Sulcus between the precentral and post central gyri =

A

central sulcus

32
Q

Deepest and longest fissure lies between the two cerebral hemispheres =

A

Superior Longitudinal Fissure or longitudinal fissure

33
Q

Other prominent fissures:

A
  • Central (or rolandic) fissure
  • Sylvian (lateral) fissure
  • Transverse Fissure
34
Q

Cerebral Lobes (4):

A
  • frontal
  • parietal
  • temporal
  • occipital
35
Q

Frontal

A
  • lower boundary in each hemisphere is the lateral (sylvian fissure)
