Lecture 2- ventricular system and blood supply Flashcards
what causes folds in the brain
different expanding speeds
what is the result of division of telencephalon
two hemispheres
what is the result of the invasion of arterioles into the ventricles
choroid plexus
what is the result of separation of two telencephalons
2 lateral ventricles
what is the result of separation of the telencephalon from the diencephalon
3rd ventricle
what is the result of dorsal separation and expansion of metencephalon and myelencephalon
4th ventricle
where does the lateral ventricle connect to the brain
anterior horn- frontal and limbic
body- frontal and limbic
atrium- parietal and limbic
posterior horn- occipital
inferior horn- temporal and limbic
what connects the lateral ventricle and the 3rd ventricle
inter-ventricular foramen of monro
where does the 3rd ventricle connect to the brain
diencephalon
what connects the 3rd ventricle to the 4th ventricle
cerebral aqueduct
where does the 4th ventricle expand to
central canal
foramen magnum
foramina magendie
foramina luschka
what is the function of the ventricles
CSF secretion
what differs between the brain blood barrier and choroid plexus
BBB- no large molecules, tight junction, astrocyte end feet
CP- only in ventricles, leaking capillary-fenestration, active secretion
what is the function of CSF
maintain buoyancy
shock absorption
decrease excitability
low concentration of waste facilitate diffusion
no nutrition
what happens if CSF does not decrease excitability
increase in action potential resulting in epilepsy
how is CSF circulation affected by heart ventricular systole and diastole
systole- cranial to caudal, out of ventricles
diastole- caudal to cranial
ventricles compress when heart contracts
how does CSF drain into dural venous system
SSS through arachnoid granulations
what happens if CSF is blocked
hydrocephalus
what does the falx cerebri seperate
2 cerebral hemisphere
what does the falx cerebelli seperate
separates cerebullum
what does the tentorium cerebelli separates
occipital and temporal lobes from cerebellum
what does the diaphargma sellae seperate
hypophyseal fossa
where does the epidural/extrdural space lie
between dura and cranium
where does the subdural space lie
between dura and subarachnoid
what is the arachnoid mater and what is the function
tether the brain through arachnoid trabeculae
where does the subarachnoid space lie
between arachnoid and pia mater
lateral ventricle does not extend into which cerebral lobe
insular
where is the dural venous sinus
between periosteal and meningeal layers of dura mater
what is the innervation of the cranial fossa
CN V, trigeminal
V1- anterior fossa above tentorium cerebelli
V2/3- anterior/middle fossa
C2/3- posterior cranial fossa
