Intro to Cranial (Tabor) Flashcards
How much of our body is water?
60%, 500ml produced per day
CSF is how much water? Where does CSF go?
99%; CSF fluid goes to extra cranial lymphatics!
What is the motion of CSF?
Fluctuant motion opposed to flow
The reciprocal tension membrane has…
Mobility!
Brain and spinal cord have inherent…..
Motility (coiling and uncoiling)!
Cranial bones have articular….
Mobility (more about sutures)!
The sacrum moves…
Involuntarily (between ilia - more related to respiratory motion)
When does the Metopic suture close?
3-9 months old
When does the coronal suture fuse?
20-50 yo
Midpoint of the posterior margin of foramen magnum?
Opisthion
Which of the following sutures is correctly matched with its landmark?
a) Inion - midpoint on posterior margin of foramen magnum
b) Bregma - junction of sagittal and coronal sutures
c) Opisthion- junction of sagittal and lamboidal sutures
d) Lambda - prominent part of the external occipital protuberance.
b) Bregma - junction of sagittal and coronal sutures
Below are the correct pairings!
Opisthion - midpoint on posterior margin of foramen magnum
Bregma - jxn of sagittal and coronal sutures
** Lambda - jxn of sagittal and lamboidal sutures
**Inion - prominent part of the external occipital protuberance.
The bridge of your nose where the frontal and nasal bone suture meet is called…..
Nasion!!
Which of the following sutures is correctly matched with its landmark?
a) Asterion- smooth prominence on frontal bone between and above the eyebrows
b) Pterion - meeting of frontal, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal bones
c) Nasion- junction of lambed suture, OM suture and parietomastoid suture
d) Glabella - junction of frontal and nasal bone sutures
b) Pterion - meeting of frontal, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal bones
Correct pairings below:
- Glabella: smooth prominence on frontal bone between and above the eyebrows (close to mitopic suture)
- Pterion: meeting of frontal, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal bones
- Asterion: junction of lambed suture, OM suture and parietomastoid suture (more posterior)
- Nasion: junction of frontal and nasal bone sutures
WHat is the anterior attachment of the falx cerebri?
The Crista Galli, posterior to Glabella
What is the posterior attachment of the falx cerebri?
Internal Occipital Protuberance, at the Inion
Where is the one bone on bone articulation at birth?
OA
