3 Meninges

pia mater
Origin of CSF
Choroid plexus
special cells in Choroid plexus that produce CSF
ependymal cells
where is CSF reabsorbed
arachnoid villi
resorption rate =
production rate
Diencephalon
thalamus & hypothalamus
Brainstem
medulla, pons & midbrain
CTA
ct angiogram
contrast dye injected into blood vessel allowing 3-D imaging
MRI
Atoms spin in random directions but when exposed and some will flip and that will allow image
fMRI
functional MRI
seeing activity of brain
detecting changes in blood flow and oxygenation
PET Scan
functional imaging technique
Use dye or glucose tracer
why aren’t PET scans commonly done
tracer is expensive, has to be made right before test
SPECT Scans
combines CT and tracer
chemical stays in blood stream vs being absorbed in PET
Angiogram with Fluoroscopy
uses x-rays and contrast material to see blood vessels in the brain
EEG when excited
shorter amplitude with more frequency
