Q

what is the difference between the dura on the left and right side of the skull?

A

dura and sinuses intact on left side
dura has been removed on the right hand side

44
Q

what does cerebrospinal fluid do?

A

It flows in and around the brain and spinal cord to help cushion them from injury and provide nutrients.

45
Q

what are venous sinuses?

A

channels of a branching complex sinus network
- lies between layers of the dura mater, the outermost covering of the brain
- functions to collect oxygen-depleted blood

Q

what does the cavernous sinus drain?

A

drain the blood from the orbits through the ophthalmic veins and from the anterior part of the base of the brain by the sphenoparietal sinus and the middle cerebral veins

48
Q

what is the emissary vein?

A

Emissary veins are valveless venous structures that connect the extracranial vessels of the scalp to the intracranial dural venous sinuses and diploic veins.

49
Q

what does the emissary vein increase risk of?

A

infection travelling straight from scalp into the brain
