What are the 3 layers of the Meninges?
1. Dura Mater
2. Arachnoid Mater
3. Pia Mater
2. Arachnoid Mater
3. Pia Mater
What does the Dura Mater do?
The dura mater separates the cranial cavity into components, protects the brain from displacement and forms sinuses that carry blood back to heart.
What is the superior sagital sinus?
The superior sagital sinus is one of the sinuses of the dura mater that runs anterior to posterior and carries blood back to the heart to be recycled.
What does the Falx Cerebri separate?
It separates the left and right hemispheres.
What does the Falx Cerebelli separate?
It separates the left and right cerebellum.
What does the Tentorium Cerebelli separate?
It separates the cerebellum from the cerebrum.
What does the Arachnoid Mater do?
It mostly serves to push cerebrospinal fluid back into bloodstream via the villi.
Where's the subarachnoid space?
It's between the Arachnoid Mater and the Pia Mater and filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
What are the epidural and subdural spaces?
The epidural space may exist between the dura mater and the cranium while the subdural space might exist between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater.
Where is the pia mater?
Inferior to the arachnoid mater and runs down into the sulci and fissures fusing with the ependyma.
What are choroid plexes?
The fusing of the pia mater with the ependyma to produce ventricles where the cerebrospinal fluid is produced.
What purpose does the cerebrospinal fluid serve?
The cerebrospinal fluid serves for:
1. Protection (buffers the brain)
2. Buoyancy (alleviates pressure)
3. Excretion (excretes waste via superior sagital sinus)
4. Endocrine (transports hormones)
1. Protection (buffers the brain)
2. Buoyancy (alleviates pressure)
3. Excretion (excretes waste via superior sagital sinus)
4. Endocrine (transports hormones)
Describe how the CSF is circulated.
1. lateral ventricle
foramen of munro
2. 3rd ventricle
aqueduct of sylvius
4. 4th ventricle
lateral foramina
5. subarachnoid space
foramen of munro
2. 3rd ventricle
aqueduct of sylvius
4. 4th ventricle
lateral foramina
5. subarachnoid space
What is hydrocephalus?
It is the build-up of CSF which swells the ventricles and puts pressure on the brain. Must be treated by CF Shunt.
