Meningies Flashcards

1
Q

What do meningies do?

A

provide protection for the brain. (CNS)
contain, circulate, and recycle CSF. (cerebral spinal fluid)
innervated and vascularized.
contain dural sinuses and partitions.

Q

how many ventricles do we have in brain?

A

4

17
Q

Describe the ventricles.

A

Located deep in CNS
Filled with CSF
2 Lateral, Third, Cerebral Aquaduct, Fourth
Continuous with Subarachnoid Space

18
Q

first place you can bleed in brain is where?

A

Epidera

19
Q

Arterial blood is low pressure and venous blood is high pressure. True or False.

A

False.
arterial= high pressure
venous= low pressure

20
Q

Blood gets into subarachnoid space and there is blood everywhere. “the worse headache of your life”. Bleeding out. Associated with hemmoratc stroke or brain injury.
What type of Hemmorrage?

A

Suprarchnoid Hemmorage

21
Q

sub dura is located where

A

underneath dura.

22
Q

blood drains from brain into dura. what keeps brain from floating around?

A

dura sinuses

23
Q 
Outermost layer
2 adhered sublayers: 
Periosteal: lies against inner skull
Meningeal:lies against Arachnoid memb.
Dural sinuses lie between layers
Dural partitions are double meningeal layers
What layer of the brain menengies?
A

Dura

24
Q

Arachnoid membrane: Transparent sheet attached to Pia by collagen trabeculae.
Sub-arachnoid space: b/w arachnoid membrane and Pia
filled with CSF
Arteries and veins
What layer of the brain meningies?

A

Arachnoid membrane

25
Q

Dura has its own arteries and vessels. True or False.

A

True

26
Q

As you get older Dura sticks to the skull. True or False.

A

True

27
Q

blood in the space bw periostal duma and the skull.

A

Epideral Hemitoma

28
Q

Press on Ocular Motor nerve and you will get a “blown pupil” on the side where mass is. True or False

A

True

29
Q

What is the difference between an Epidural and a Subdural Hemotoma?

A

Epidurals are different from subdurals.
Epidural= could kill you in an hour. EMERGENCY. If you put enough pressure on it its over. (Chronic)
Subdural= low emergency situation, no symptoms, sub clinical. (football players get this from concosions) There brains look like old people brains. (Acute)

30
Q

Thin sheet attached to surface of CNS

Cannot be removed

A

pia mater

31
Q

separates right from left brain.

A

longitudinal fissure.

32
Q 
Double layer sheets of meningeal dura
Extend between major fissures of the brain
Support and prevent excess movement
Falx cerebri
Tentorium cerebelli
What is this?
A

dural partitions

33
Q

Venous passages between dural layers
Drain venous blood from the brain
Receive CSF overflow through arachnoid villi into Superior Sagital Sinus
Drain into Internal Jugular vein
Cavernous sinus surrounds sella turcica, including CN 3,4,6
Cavernous sinus thrombosis, infections
who am I?

A

Dural Sinuses

34
Q

Cavernous sinuses are controlled by what arteries?

A

carotid arteries 3,4, and 6.

35
Q

Blood in potential space between Periosteal dura and skull
Arterial, high pressure blood
Rapid advance after Traumatic Brain Injury
Increased intracranial pressure
Fixed dilated pupil, papilledema
What type of Hematoma is this?

A

Epideral Hematoma.

36
Q

Blood in potential space between meningeal dura and arachnoid membrane
Low pressure venous blood
Slow advance, older patients
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy: athletes alcoholics, elderly.
What type of Hematoma is this?

A

Subdural Hematoma

37
Q

Blood in subarachnoid space
Traumatic injury or hemorrhagic stroke
“Worst headache of my life”, sudden onset
what type of Hematoma is this?

A

Subrarachnoid Hematoma
