aponeurosis
Term
4th layer of scalp, allows free movement of scalp proper, loose connective tissue that contains many spaces that can allow pus or blood to spread easily through here.
Definition
loose subaponeurotic tissue
Term
emissary veins connect this layer with the dural sinuses and can lead to infection from this layer to cranial cavity. Also known as Danger layer

Definition
outer table
Term
The middle layer of cranial bone, made of spongy bone
Definition
diploe
Term
The internal layer of cranial bone, made of compact bone
Definition
inner table
Term
This is the lining of the inner table, which is the outer layer of the dura
Definition
endocranium, endosteum
Term
blood supply of scalp comes from vessels below, specifically branches of _____________
Definition
external and internal carotid arteries
Term
Many vessels anastamose freely in what layer of the scalp?
Definition
second layer, close SQ tissue
Term
Branches from these arteries supply the frontal region?
Definition
internal carotid arteries
Term
Branches supplying temporal and occipital regions come of what artery?
Definition
external carotid artery
Term
Veins that accompany arteries in this arrangement (two veins lie on either side of artery) and have the same names as the arteries
Definition
venae comitantes
Term
innervation of the scalp anterior to the external ears is through ?
Definition
Branches of three divisions of the trigeminal nerve (CN V): Opthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular
Term
Posterior to the ear nerve supply of the scalp is from?
Definition
cervical spinal nerves
Term
Name the 3 layers of meninges surrounding the brain
Definition
dura mater
arachnoid mater
pia mater
Term
name the two layers of the dura mater
Definition
endocranium/ endosteum/ endosteal dura
and
meningeal dura
Term
the outer layer of dura mater that fuses to skull
Definition
endocranium/endosteum/ endosteal dura
Term
the inner layer of the dura mater
Definition
meningeal dura
Term
Endosteal dura and meningeal dura adhere to each other except at certain locations where they separate called?
Definition
dural sinuses
Term
Name the two fluids that are contained in the dural sinuses
Definition
blood and absorbed CSF
Term
Name the 4 dural folds
Definition
falx cerebri
tentorium cerebelli
falx cerebelli
diaphragma sella
Term
This dural fold separates the superior portion of the right and left sides of the cerebrum and is sickle shaped
Definition
falx cerebri
Term
This dural fold attaches anteriorly to the crista galli of the ethmoid bone and posteriorly to the tentorium cerebelli at the level of the internal occipital protuberance
Definition
falx cerebri
Term
latin word falx means
Definition
sickle
Term
This dural fold forms a tent over the cerebellum
Definition
tentorium cerebelli
Term
latin word tentorium means
Definition
tent
Term
this dural fold is sickle shaped, inferior to the surface of the tentorium cerebelli
Definition
falx cerebelli
Term
this dural fold separates the right and left cerebellar hemispheres
Definition
falx cerebelli
Term
this dural fold is a small, circular, horizontal sheet of dura that forms a roof over the hypophyseal fossa in the sella turcica
Definition
diaphragma sella
Term
The diaphragma sella is pierced by the?
Definition
hypophyseal stalk( infundibulum)
Term
arterial blood supply of the dura is not from the same vessels supplying the scalp. T or F
Definition
true
Term
arterial supply of the dura includes?
Definition
meningeal arteries including the middle meningeal artery
Term
this artery branches off the maxillary artery coming off the external carotid and courses external to the dura mater, inner surface of calvaria shows indentation of these vessels
Definition
middle meningeal artery
Term
when two layers of the dura mater separate this is called a ?
Definition
sinus
Term
a sinus drains all blood and CSF from the brain; they all flow toward this vessel?
Definition
internal jugular vein
Term
sinus that lies in the median plane on the superior portion of the falx cerebri
Definition
superior sagittal sinus
Term
this sinus connects with diploic veins, cerebral veins, and lateral expansions of the lateral lacunae, draining posteriorly into confluence of sinuses
Definition
superior sagittal sinus
Term
this sinus lies in the median plane but on the inferior portion of the falx cerebri, it drains posteriorly into the straight sinus
Definition
inferior sagittal sinus
Term
this sinus is found between the junction of the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli, receives blood from inferior sagittal sinus and cerebral veins. It drains posteriorly into confluence of sinuses
Definition
straight sinus
Term
this sinus begins at the confluence and courses laterally, its found within the external border of tentorium cerebelli, and passes anteriorly toward the petrous portion of the temporal bone to sigmoid sinus
Definition
transverse sinus
Term
this sinus extends from the transverse sinus and courses in an S shape along petrous portion to jugular foramen, where it continues in the neck as the internal jugular vein.
Definition
sigmoid sinus
Term
these two sinuses are found lateral to the sella turcica on each side, they have a cave like appearance
Definition
cavernous sinuses
Term
this is a polygonal anastomosis between right and left internal carotid arteries and right and left vertebral arteries.
