Quiz 7 (CNS + PNS) Flashcards
3 functions of CSF
mechanical protection chemical protection (blood brain barrier) circulation (provided nutrients to brain)
CSF
cerebral spinal fluid
Pathway of CSF
produced by choroid plexus (in all four ventricles) lateral ventricles intervertricular foramen third ventricle cerebral aquaduct fourth ventricle median and lateral apertures subarachnoid space arachnoid vili dural sinuses internal jugular vein
The prosencephalon composes these two structures at a 6 week embryo
telencephalon
diencephalon
Lobes of the cerebrum
frontal parietal temporal occipital insula
Frontal lobe contains this structure
precentral gyrus
parietal lobe contains this strucutre
postcentral gyrus
temporal lobe has these 2 structures
auditory and olfactory cortex
occipital lobe contains this structure
visual cortex
Location of insula
deep to the lateral sulcus
the insula contains this structure
gustatory cortex
Layers of the meninges from superficial to deep
periosteal layer (dura mater) meningeal layer (dura mater) arachnoid mater sub-arachnoid space pia mater
meninges
protective area that encloses the brain and spinal cord
dura mater
two seperate layers
leathery material
pia mater
thin layer of tissue that clings tightly to the brain
arachnoid villi
aka arachnoid granulations
projections of the arachnoid mater through the meningeal layer of the dura mater into the dural sinus where CSF is absorbed into venous blood
dural sinuses are
veins of the brain open into the sinuses which in turn deliver blood to the internal juggular vein.
dural sinuses contain these
intersitial fluid
blood vessels
Names and pathway of the dural sinuses
look up in book
Falx cerebri
meningeal layer of the dura mater that follows the longitudinal fissure and separates the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Tentorium cerebelli
meningeal layer of the dura mater that follows the transverse fissure and separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum
Falx cerebelli
meningeal layer of the dura mater that separates the two halves of the cerebellum
The prosencephalon becomes these two brain regions at birth
cerebrum
diencephalon
telencephalon is this region at birth
cerebrum
