1 sphenoid
2 parietals
2 temporal
where is the pituitary gland located?
what is another name for this? function?
Sella turcica
master gland & regulates many hormones within the body
what is the cerebrum?
what is the function?
largest portion of the brain divided into left and right ventricles
responsible for thought, judgement, memory, and discrimination
what is the largest facial bone?
mandible
how many cranial nerves originate from the brainstem?
10
(10/12 of the cranial nerves originate from the brainstem)
First two originate from the cerebrum

what is osmolality?
the number of particles in a solution per unit liquid compared to blood
what are high osmolality agents? (HOCM)
low osmolality agents? (LOCM)
agents that may have as much as seven times the osmolality of blood
have roughly twice the osmolality of blood
what are Isosmolar agents? (IOCM)
agents that have the osmolality as blood
what is viscosity?
what affects viscosity?
thickness or friction of a fluid as it flows
brand, temperature, and concentration affect the contrast media/viscosity
(could affect how CM is injected intravascularly)
what is a mild reaction to contrast?
consists of?
short duration and self limiting
difficulty breathing
light headache
pain at the injection site
what is a moderate reaction to contrast?
consists of?
not immediately life threating, but could potentially be if untreated
feeling of warmth
hypertension
bradycardia
what is a severe reaction to contrast?
consists of?
potentially or immediately life threatening
cardiac or respiratory arrest
what are the positive agents?
examples?
possess a higher density than the surrounding structures (anatomy)
barium, iodine
what are the negative agents?
examples?
possess a lower density than the surrounding structures (anatomy)
air, cO2
