Exam 3: Skull lecture iv and Eye, Ear, Etc lecture i Flashcards
the veins of the face and scalp generally accompany _, providing _ venous drainage
arteries, superficial venous drainage
facial vein: provides _ of face and drains into the _ vein
primary superficial drainage of face, internal jugular vein
as with most superficial veins, these veins are subject to many
variations
many face and scalp veins drain into the _ or _ vein
external jugular vein or internal jugular vein
cranial meninges: t/f: there are 3 membranous, intracranial brain-covering layers
true
cranial meninges: what are the 3 membranous, intracranial brain-covering layers
- a substantial, bilaminar outer layer (dura)
2-3. two continuous, delicate, membranous inner layers
functions of the cranial meninges: (3)
- protect brain
- form a supporting framework for arteries, veins, and venous sinuses
- enclose a fluid-filled cavity, the subarachnoid space
subarachnoid space: is btwn _ and _
arachnoid and pia mater
subarachnoid space: is rqd for
normal brain fcn
subarachnoid space: contains _ fluid, _ cells and trabeculae, arteries, and veins
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), trabecular cells
the meninges include: (3)
- dura mater
- arachnoid
- pia mater
cranial meninges: dura mater (describe)
tough, thick, fibrous layer (most superficial of the 3)
cranial meninges: arachnoid (arachnoid mater) (describe)
thin, middle layer
cranial meninges: pia mater (describe)
delicate and vasculated; deepest meninx
cranial meninges: the pia mater together with the arachnoid forms the
leptomeninx
the subarachnoid space is btwn the _ and _ and contains _
btwn arachnoid and pia mater; contains CSF
CSF: a _ liquid similar to
clear liquid similar to blood plasma
CSF: provides nutrients but has less
protein and different ion concentrations than blood
CSF: formed by the _ of the 4 ventricles of the brain
choroid plexuses
CSF: a filtrate of plasma leaves the _ enters the ventricles; it then exits the ventricular system and enters the _, where it cushions and nourishes the brain
leaves the choroid plexuses, enters the subarachnoid space
CSF: arachnoid granulations are collections of
arachnoid villi
CSF: arachnoid granulations are tufted prolongations of the _ that protrude through the _ and into _ and transfer CSF into venous blood
prolongations of the arachnoid that protrude through the meningeal layer of the dura mater and into venous-blood-filled spaces (dural venous sinuses)
dura mater: has 2 layers (except around spinal cord):
- an _ layer formed by _ covering the _ skull surface
- an _ layer that is continuous at the _ w/ the spinal dura mater that covers the spinal cord
- an external periosteal layer formed by the periosteum covering the internal skull surface
- an internal meningeal layer that is continuous at the foramen magnum w/ the spinal dura mater that covers the spinal cord
dura mater: the periosteal layer adheres tightly to the _; it is continuous with the _ on the _ surface of the calvaria
tightly to the internal skull surface, continuous w/ periosteum on the external surface of the calvaria
dura mater: its 2 layers separate in certain location to form (a of b) _ that penetrate large fissures btwn parts of the brain, incompletely dividing the cranial cavity into smaller compartments that help prevent _
dural folds, prevent brain movement
dura mater: dural folds include (3)
- falx cerebri
- falx cerebelli
- tentorium cerebelli
dura mater: dural folds: falx cerebri: btwn the _ and _ hemispheres
right and left cerebral hemispheres
dura mater: dural folds: falx cerebelli: btwn the _ and _ hemispheres
rt and lt cerebellar hemispheres
dura mater: dural folds: tentorium cerebelli: btwn _ and _
occipital lobes of cerebrum and cerebellum
dura mater: its 2 layers separate in certain locations to form (b of b)
dural venous sinuses
