4) pupil diameter
5) reflexive movements to a variety of stimuli
6) chewing
where is the falx cerebri located?
it lies in the longitudinal fissure
what is the outer layer, the periosteum of the cranial bones called?
the periosteal dura
what does CSF consist of?
ependymal cells surrounding capillaries with tight junctions between the endothilial cells
what does the vagus nerve (X) bear?
parasympthetic commands to the thoracic and abdominal cavity organs
what do all these inputs that supply blood to the brain form?
the cerebral arterial circle
what are the cranial arachnoid and pia mater similar to?
the spinal meninges
what ar the 3 layers of the meningeal dura mater? (FTF)
1) falx cerebri
2) tentorium cerebelli
3) falx cerebelli
where is the falx cerebelli located?
between the cerebellar hemispheres
what does the cranial dura mater in the cranial meninges consist of?
2 layers
what do ependymal cells do?
transport sodium into the ventricles and water follows by osmosis
what branches from the cerebral arterial circle?
3 pair of cerebral arteries
what is integrated in the brain?
cranial reflexes
what does the glassopharyngeal (IX) carry?
parasympathetic commands to the parotid salivary glands
what does the accessory nerve (XI) do?
sends axons to the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles
what nerves are somatic motor and parasympathetic?
oculomotor (III)
what does the vagus nerve (X) innervate?
muscles of the soft palate, pharynx and larynx
what does the trochlear (IV) nerve control?
1 extrinsic eye muscle
what do projection of the arachnoid mater into the dural venous sinuses form?
arachnoid granulations for returning CSF to the blood stream
what is CSF produced by?
a choroid plexus in each ventricle
what does the glassopharyngeal (IX) send?
sensory information from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue and from the carotid artery receptors to the brain
where does CSF flow from?
the lateral ventricles to the fourth ventricle from which CSF can enter the subarachnoid space
what does the meningeal dura mater form?
3 dural folds
what does the abducens nerve (VI) control?
1 extrinsic eye muscle
what does the facial nerve (VII) control?
muscles of facial expression
what does the facial nerve (VII) convey?
parasympathetic commands to salivary glands and the lacrimal glands
