pterion
junction of frontal, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal bones
lambdoid suture
connects occipital bone to parietal bones
foramen ovale is in what bone

foramen spinosum is in what bone
sphenoid
foramen lacerum is in what bone
sphenoid
medial and lateral pterigoid plates are in what boine
sphenoid
mandibular fossa in what bone
temporal
stylomastoid foramen in what bone

carotid canal in what bone
temporal
groove for auditory tube in what bone

jugular foramen in what bone
temporal
hypoglossal canal in what bone
occipital
crista galli in what bone
ethmoid
cribiform plate in what bone
ethmoid
anterior clinoid process in what bone
sphenoid
optic canal is in what bone
sphenoid
superior orbital fissue in what bone
sphenoid
endocranium
outer layer of dura
=periosteum on the inner surface of skull bones
dural venous sinuses
where 2 layers of dura separate to enclose blood spaces
falx cerebri
separates hemispheres of cerebrum
tentorium cerebelli
separates cerebellum from cerebrum
falx cerebelli
separates hemispheres of cerebellum
superior sagittal sinus
at level of occipital protuberance, ti terminates by joining right (less frequently the left) transverse sinus
arachnoid granulations
projections of arachnoid within superior sagittal sinus
inferior sagittal sinus enclosed within
lower free margin of falx cerebri
tentorial incisure
inner or anterior border of the tentorium cerebelli
tentorial notch
formed by the tentorial incisure, and posterior cranial fossa communicates with middle cranial fossa through it
hypophyseal fossa of sella turcica
the pituitary glands sits in this
straight sinus
along the junction of tentorium and falx cerebri
straight sinus usually ends by joining
left transverse sinus
confluence of sinus
may be present with superior sagittal, straight, right and left transverse sinuses coming together
sigmoid sinus
where the transverse sinuses turn downward at the lateral end of the superior border of the petrous part of the the temporal bone
sigmoid sinus enters
jugular foramen to drain into internal jugular vein
cavernous sinuses
lie between the 2 layers of durat at the sides of sella turcica.
receive blood from superior and inferior ophthamlmic veins
4 main lobes contained in the cerebral hemispheres
frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal
pons
prominent ridge of transverse fibers extending laterally into the hemispheres of the cerebellum
midbrain (mesencephalon)
found immediately rostral to pons
internal carotid arteries
along with 2 vertebral arteries supplies all the blood to the brain
anterior cerebral arteries
branch of internal carotid that supplies blood to the medial aspect of frontal and parietal lobes
middle cerebral arteries
branch of internal carotid that supplies blood to the lateral aspects of frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes
anterior communicating artery
joins the 2 anterior cerebrals just behind optic chiasma
posterior communicating artery
joins the 2 middle cerebrals and anastamoses with the posterior cerebral artery
vertebral arteries give rise to
anterior and posterior spinal, and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries
basilar artery
provides numerous pontine branches and supplies most of the blood to the cerebellum through anterior inferior and superior cerebellar arteries
arterial circle of willis
seven-sided arterial ring formed by anastamoses of anterior cerebral, anterior communicating, posterior communicating and posterior cerebral arteries
3rd ventricle
slit-like cavity in midline superior to the pons and midbrain
interventricular foramen of monro
connects the paired lateral ventricles with the 3rd ventricle
choroid plexus
vascular plexus that is main source of CSF
4th ventricle
lies posterior to medulla and pons
cerebral aqueduct of sylvius
where the 4th ventricle is continuous superiorly with 3rd ventricle
foramina of luschka (lateral apertures) and foramen magendie (medial apertures)
where the 4th ventricle is continuous inferiorly with the subarachnoid space
corpus collosum
superior to lateral ventricles and facilitates communication between hemispheres
carotid canal
where the internal carotid enters the cranial cavity
foramen spinosum
where the middle meningeal artery from the maxillary artery enters the cranial cavity
frontalis muscle
thin, flat lies just under skin of forehead
orbicularis oculi
circular muscle surrounding palpebral rima
orbicularis oris
surrounds opening of mouth
zygomaticus major
flat muscle arising from zygomatic bone and inserting at angle of mouth blending with orbicularis oris
