exam 4: Meniges (31) Flashcards
Three membranes that line the skull and vertebral canal and enclose the brain and spinal cord
Meninges
label 1-3
- Dura mater
- Arachnoid
- Pia mater
Arachnoid + Pia mater=
Leptomeniges
Cranial dura fused to the periosteum
is there an epidural space within skull
NO
Within the vertebral canal. the dura mater and periosteum are separated leaving a __________________
fat filled epidural space (6) just deep to the yellow ligament
Dura mater: Specialized Folds
Falx cerebri
where does this extend into?
longitudinal cerebral fissure (between cerebral hemispheres)
Dura mater: Specialized Folds
Falx cerebri
what does this contain
dorsal sagittal sinus (collects blood)
identify what the yellow arrow is pointing to
Longitudinal cerebral fissure
identify 1 and 2
- Falx cerebri
2.Corpus callosum
identify
Dura mater
identify
Falx cerebri
Dura mater: Specialized Folds
Tentorium cerebelli (dural and osseous parts)
where does this extend to
Extend into transverse cerebral fissure (between cerebral hemisphere and cerebellus)
Identify
Tentorium cerebelli
identify
Transverse cerebral fissure
identify
- Dorsal sagittal sinus
- Tentorial process-Tentorium cerebelli osseum
identify 1 and 2
- Falx cerebri
- Tentorium cerebelli
what lines the deep surface of the dura mater
Arachnoid
what part of the arachnoid contains the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Arachnoid trabeculae transverse subarachnoid space
what is intimately attaches to the surface of the CNS
pia mater
where does the pia mater extend into
depths of sulci, fissures, crevices
identify
cerebellomedullary cistern (cisterna magna)
identify
Lumbar cistern
What is Myelography
injection of contrast into subarachnoid space
Thickened longitudinal cord of pia on lateral margin of the spinal which segmentally attaches to the dura and arachnoid and thus suspends the spinal cord
denticulate ligaments
