Neuroanatomy Lab Flashcards
Meninges
Connective tissue membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord
Functions of the meninges
Production, circulation and reabsorption of CSF
Convey arterial vessesl into nervous tissue and return venous blood to dural sinuses
Divide cranium into smaller compartments
_________ is firmly attached to Arachnoid mater.
Dura mater is firmly attached to Arachnoid mater.
_____________ are firmly attached to the arachnoid layer by fibroblast layer making the subdural space a potential space
Spinal Meninges are firmly attached to the arachnoid layer by fibroblast layer making the subdural space a potential space
___________ space between the dura mater and periosteum of the vertebrate.
Epidural space between the dura mater and periosteum of the vertebrate.
___________ is located between the cerebrum and medulla.
Cerebromedullary cistern is located between the cerebrum and medulla.
Epidural Hematoma
Blood collects between the skull and dura mater
Subdural Hematoma
Blood Collects between dura mater and arachnoid space
__________ aid in reduction of movement of the brain within the brain case during sudden/ rapid acceleration or deceleration
Dural Reflections aid in reduction of movement of the brain within the brain case during sudden/ rapid acceleration or deceleration
__________ space created by dural reflections of the meninges between the two cerebral hemispheres within the mid-sagittal plane
Falx Cerebri (Dorsal Sagittal Sinus) space created by dural reflections of the meninges between the two cerebral hemispheres within the mid-sagittal plane
_____________ transverse dural reflection between cerebrum and cerebellum.
Tentorium cerebelli transverse dural reflection between cerebrum and cerebellum.
____________ bilateral dural reflections that run laterally.
Transverse Sinus bilateral dural reflections that run laterally.
______________ middle layer, contains web like connecting filaments.
Arachnoid mater middle layer, contains web like connecting filaments.
_________ deepest layer, follows the brain gyri and sulci as well as the arteries penetrating brain tissue
Pia mater deepest layer, follows the brain gyri and sulci as well as the arteries penetrating brain tissue
____________ supports the spinal cord, extends laterally between the dorsal and ventral rootlets to connect overlying meninges
Denticulate ligament supports the spinal cord, extends laterally between the dorsal and ventral rootlets to connect overlying meninges
Ependymal Cells
Line the ventricles to help produce and circulate CSF
Dilation of the ________ occurs most commonly.
Dilation of the Lateral Ventricle occurs most commonly.
The third ventricle communicates via the _____________ to the fourth ventricle.
The third ventricle communicates via the mesencephalic aqueduct to the fourth ventricle.
