36
Q

what is the functional implications of good blood supply?

Q

what makes a location good for feeling arterial pulses?

A

a thin layer of overlying skin against underlying bone or cartilage

body of mandible anterior to masseter muscle

40
Q

A

felt against the posterior end of the zygomatic arch

41
Q

what are the three layers of meninges?

A

duramater, arachnoid, pia mater

42
Q

what are the two layers of duramater in the cranial cavity

A

endosteal and meningeal

43
Q

which layer is highly vascular

A

pia mater

44
Q

which layer is made of dense irregular connective tissue?

A

the duramater

45
Q

where is cerebrospinal fluid produced?

A

choroid plexus in the ventricles of the brain

46
Q

where can you see the cerebrospinal fluid?

A

in the subarachnoid space, between arachnoid and pia mater

47
Q

what are the two cranial duramaters?

A

falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli

48
Q

what are the anterior and posterior attachments of the falx cerebri

A

Anterior = crista galli on ethmoid bone
Posterior = superior surface of tentorium

49
Q

what are the anterior/lateral and posterior attachments of the tentorium cerebelli?

A

Anterior/lateral = petrous part of temporal bone
Posterior = transverse sulcus of occipital bone

50
Q

what is the function of meninges?

A

protects brain from excessive movement in cranial cavity

51
Q

what is the difference between veins and dural venous sinuses?

A

veins have walls and dural venous sinuses are blood filled spaces between two layers of dura mater.

52
Q

what is the course and termination of the superior sagittal sinus?

A

runs along the superior border of the falx cerebri and drains into the confluence of sinuses, then into the right transverse sinus

53
Q

what is the course and termination of the inferior sagittal sinus?

A

runs along the inferior border of the falx cerebri and drains into the great cerebral vein to form the straight sinus where it continues into the left transverse sinus

54
Q

what is the course and termination of the transverse sinus?

A

runs along the transverse sulcus, posterior end is attached to the tentorium cerebelli. Has a right (superior sagittal) and left (straight sinus) which both drain into the sigmoid sinus

55
Q

what is the course and termination of the transverse sinus?

A

runs along the transverse sulcus, posterior end is attached to the tentorium cerebelli. Has a right (superior sagittal) and left (straight sinus) which both drain into the sigmoid sinus

56
Q

what is the course and termination of the sigmoid sinus?

A

continuation of transverse sinus located in the sigmoid sulcus and continues as internal jugular vein beyond the jugular foramen

57
Q

what is the location of the cavernous sinus and where does it terminate?

A

either side of the body of sphenoid and drains into the internal jugular vein or sigmoid sinus

58
Q

what is the clinical significance of the cavernous sinus?

A

closely located to the pituitary gland so if there is an infection or swelling it will affect the cranial nerves. opthalmic, oculomotor, abducens

the superficial temporal joins with the maxillary vein

60
Q

what two divisions does the retromandibular vein divide into?

A

anterior and posterior

61
Q

what does the anterior branch of the retromandibular vein join with?

A

facial vein to form the common facial vein which drains into the IJV

62
Q

what does the posterior branch of the retromandibular vein join with?

A

the posterior auricular vein to form the external jugular vein

63
Q

where does the external jugular vein drain into?

A

subclavian vein

64
Q

the internal jugular vein joins with the subclavian vein to form the

A

branchiocephalic vein

65
