16
Q

Corpus collosum

A

Nerve fibre bundle between left and right hemispheres- beneath cerebral cortex

17
Q

Folia of cerebellum

A

Little folds or gyri- sectioned either parallel to their long axis or transverse

18
Q

Vermis of cerebellum

A

Located medial, corticonucelar zone

19
Q

Lobes of the cerebellum

A

Anterior- Closer to the cerebrum, smaller lobe
Posterior- More posterior
Flocculomondular- comes off posterior towards the brainstem

20
Q

Production and reabsorption of CSF

A

Produced in choroid plexus, located in lining of ventricles
Capillaries and connective tissue surround
Plasma filtered out by blood by epithelial cells to produce CSF

21
Q

Functions of the CSF

A
  1. protection- act as cushion
  2. Buyoncy- immersed in CSF the net weight of brain is reduced approx 25 grams
  3. Chemical stability- CSF creates an environment to allow it
22
Q

What are the 3 different ventricles

A

lateral ventricle
Third ventricle
Fourth ventricle

23
Q

Drainage of CSF

A

Subarachnoid cisteras

24
Q

What are the 2 protrusions of the 3rd ventricle

A

Supra-optic recess- optic chiasm

Infundibular recess- optic stalk

25
Q

How does 4th ventricle receive CSF?

A

Cerebral aquaduct

26
Q

4th ventricle drains to:

A
  1. cerebral spinal cord

2. subarachnoid cisteras

27
Q

2 classifications of hydrocephalus

A
  1. Communicating (non abstructive)- functional impairment of arachnoid granulations- following haemorrhage
  2. Non-communicating (obstructive)- Flow obstructed within the ventricle
    Blockage in the cerebral aquaduct
28
Q

Bones of neurocranium

A
  1. Occipital
  2. temporal
  3. frontal
  4. parietal
  5. sphenoid
  6. ethmoid

*8 all together- temporal and parietal each have 2

29
Q

Bones of viscercranium

A
  1. mandibular
  2. zygotmatic
  3. maxilla
  4. nasal
  5. lacriminal
  6. palatine
  7. inferior nasal concha
  8. vomer
30
Q

Main sutures

A

Coronal- fuses frontal bone with 2 parietal bones
Sagittal- fuses parietal bones with each other
Lambdoid- fuses the occipital bone with 2 parietal bones

31
Q

2 main fontanelles

A 
Frontal= between coronal and sagittal 
occipital= between sagittal and lambdoid
32
Q

Laterality

A

Ipsilateral- same side

Contralateral- Opposite side

33
Q

Male and female skull comparison

A

Male

  • Cranial mass more bulky
  • Zygomatic bone more prominent
  • mandible more squared
  • deeper cranial mass
  • Supercillary arch is males is large and pronounced
  • External occipital protuberance larger

Female

  • Suproorbital margin is sharper
  • More pointed chin
34
Q

What are the 4 pairs of parasinal air sinuses

A
  1. maxillary- cheeks
  2. ethmoid- nose
  3. sphenoid- by ears
  4. frontal- forehead
35
Q

What is the most delicate part of the skull?

A

Pterion- where frontal bone , sphenoid greater wing, temporal and perietal articulate
