22
Q

Nerve supply of the DURA MATER

A
Branches of the:
Trigeminal
Vagus
First 3 Cev nerves
Branches from the sympa system
23
Q

Everytime there is STETCHING of the meninges, it will result to

24
Example of headache, pain in shoulder and neck area
Tension headache
25
Main arterial supply of the dura mater | Commonly damaged in head injuries
Middle meningeal artery
26
6 arterial supply of dura mater
``` ICA Max Ascending pharyngeal Occ Vertebral Middle meningeal ```
27
Starts at the meningeal veins and drains to sinuses
Venous drainage
28
Venous drainage
Meningeal veins
29
Meningeal veins drains into the
Pterygoid venous plexus or the | Sphenoparietal sinus
30
Delicate impermeable membrane covering the brain between DURA and PIA
Arachnoid mater
31
IMPERMEABLE | - for protection. Foreign matls cant pass. May help stop blood from going to the brain when there is bleeding
Arachnoid mater is impermeable
32
AM is separated from the: Dura- Pia-
Subdural | Subarachnoid space
33
Space for the passage of csf
Subarachnoid space
34
Will help provide framework - limits movt of brain in AM
Arachnoid villi | Arachnoid granulation
35
Projects into the venous sinuses Most numerous in sup sag sinus SERVES AS SITES WHERE THE CSF DIFFUSES INTO THE BLOOD STREAM
Arachnoid villi
36
Aggregations of arachnoid villi which are conneed to the pia mater across the fluid filled subarach space by delicate strands of fibrous tissue
Arachnoid granulations
37
A. Granulation is aka
Pacchionian bodies
38
Vascular membrane that closely invests the brain Covers the gyri Descends into the deepest sulci
Pia mater
39
Pia mater forms a specialized tissue which forms the CSF
Tela choroidea
40
Pia mater forms _ of the roof of the 3rd and 4th ventricles of the brain
Tela choroidea
41
Pia mater fuses with _ to form the _ in the lat 3rd and 4th ventricles
Fuses with ependyma | To form choroid plexus
42
Serves as cushion for the brain and provide overall conditions of CNS
Csf
43
Csf is produced by the
Choroid plexus
44
Spinal subarachnoid space extends down as far as the
2nd sacral vertebra
45
Master endocrine gland
Pituitary gland
46
Pituitary gland aka
Hypophysis cerebri
47
Small oval structure attached to the undersurface of the brain by the infundibulum
Pituitary gland
48
Pituitary gland is protected by the
Sella turcica of the sphenoid
49
Structure that stabilizes pituitary gland
Diaphragma sellae
50
2 lobes of pituitary gland
Ant lobe or adenohypophysis | Post lobe or neurohypophysis
51
Blood supply of hypophysis
Sup and inf hypophyseal arteries (branches of ica)
52
Venous drainage of hypophysis
Intercavernous sinuses
