meninges Flashcards
outward in order of meninges
dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater
what is adherent ot the arachnoid mater
dura mater
usually no subdural space but there is a space between dura mater and arachnoid mater if there is
bleeding
subarachnoid space is between what and filled with
between arachnoid and pia mater
fileld with cerebrospinal fluid
where find cisterna magna
cistern between cerebellum and brainstem
what is csf
ultrafiltrate of blood
where csf come from
chroid plexus in ventricles
the csf goes to () space and then reenters the blood via the ()
subarachnoid space
arachnoid granulations/vili
where find arachnoid granulations
project into superior sagittal sinus
which is a very thin, highly vascularized membrane made of loose ct
pia mater
what does the pia mater dip into
sulci and fissues of brain (carrying blood vessels in it)
where do cerebral veins run on
on the pia within the subarachnoid space
what do the cerebral veins form
the tela choroidea
what does the tela choroidea becomes when it fuses with ependyma
choroid plexu
what are gyrus
convoluted elevation of the brain cortical tissue
which meninge layer is a delicate transparent membrane composed of web-like tissue
arachnoid mater
the arachnoid goes over the () not in it
sulci/fissures
what separates the dura mater and the arachnoid mater
subdural space
what separates the arachnoid and pia matter
subarachnoid space
what does the subarachnoid space contain
csf
what are cisterns
dilated portions of subarachnoid space
what are arachnoid villi
tufted prolongations of pia-arachnoid which protrude through the meningeal layer of the dura mater
cisterns in spinal cord is found where
lumbar cistern where dilation of subarachnoid space so get csf collection for spinal tap
collections of arachnoid vili form
arachnoid granulations
where do you find the arachnoid granulations
margin of superior sagittal sinus
the spongy tissue of the vilus contain tubules that serve as
one-way valves for transfer of csf from subarachnoid space to the venous system
what are the majore site of fluid transfer
vili and granulations
what is the outermost and tough covering of cns
dura mater
what does the dura mater consist of
connective tissue
what is the dura mater describes as
two layers membrane
what is the dura mater 2 layers membrane made up of
periosteal layer meningeal layer (fuse at some parts)
what does the meningeal layer form
dural sheaths/epineureiums of the cranial nerves
the dura mater forms four inwardlay projectiong septa or folds called
dural septa
what are the dural sinuses
venous channels between the meningeal and periosteal layers of dura mater
where is falx cerebri
between two cerebral hemispheres
