Scalp Brain Meninges Flashcards
Which layers of the scalp move as a unit?
Skin, Connective Tissue, Aponeurosis
Layers of the Scalp
Skin, Connective Tissue, Aponeurosis, Loose Connective Tissue, Pericranium
Innervation of scalp?
Trigeminal - V1 (Supraorbital, Supratrochlear) V2 (Zygomaticotemporal) V3 (Auriculotemporal)
Lesser occipital nerve (C2, C3 ventral rami)
Greater occipital nerve (C2 dorsal rami)
Third occipital nerve (C3 dorsal rami)
Anastomosis
Connection of BVs from >1 areas
Vasculature of scalp is in which layer?
Connective tissue layer.
Internal Carotid Branches
Supraorbital (branch of the opthalmic artery)
Supratrochlear (branch of the opthalmic artery)
External Carotid Branches
Superficial Temporal
Posterior Auricular
Occipital
Cranial Meninges
Dura Mater (tough) Arachnoid Mater (spidery) Pia Mater (really soft)
Dura Mater Layers
Meningeal - continuous with the external periosteum
Periosteal - continuous with the spinal dura mater
Dura Mater - reflections form by?
Reflections of the meningeal layer of the dura mater create infoldings of dura in between sections of the brain
