13
Where are the two enlargements in the spinal column?
 
at the upper and lower limbs
14
What is the Filum Terminale?
 
TENDON? to hold spinal cord in place - attached to coccyx
15
Cauda equina
 
"pony tail" - collection of nerve roots at bottom of vertebral canal 
16
Why does the cauda equina exist?
 
Vertebral column grows faster than spinal column after birth
17
Dorsal horns of spinal cord
 
sensory information
18
Ventral horns of spinal cord
 
Motor information
19
Dorsal root ganglion
 
picks up information from body parts
20
Where is the grey matter in the spinal cord?
 
central - in horns
21
Where is there enlarged grey matter in the spinal cord?
 
around limbs - cervical (C3-T1) and lumbar (L1-S2)
22
Where is CSF extracted from a patient?
 
Lumbar
23
3 layers of meninges
 
dura matter, arachnoid matter, pia matter
24
Function of dura matter
 
support and protection
25
2 layers of dura matter
 
periosteal and meningeal
26
periosteal layer
 
attached tightly to bone
27
meningeal layer
 
extends inward - separates cerebral hemispheres - limits brain movement
28
space between layers of dura matter
 
venous sinuses - allows venous blood to drain
29
3 meningeal layer folds
 
falx cerebri, tentorium cerebelli, falx cerebelli
30
falx cerebri
 
separates cerebral hemispheres
31
tentorium cerebelli
 
separates cerebellum and cerebrum
32
falx cerebelli
 
separates cerebellar (walnut) hemispheres
33
Subdural space
 
Space between dura matter and arachnoid matter
34
Arachnoid mater
 
Between dura mater and pia mater
35
Subarachnoid space
 
Between arachnoid mater and pia mater - filled with CSF
36
Arachnoid granulations
 
collections of arachnoid villi - drain CSF into venous sinuses
37
Cistern
 
Enlarged subarachnoid space
38
Pia Mater
 
Delicate membrane following contours of the brain
39
Layer that surrounds blood vessels into brain
 
Pia mater
40
lumbar puncture
 
allows for sampling of CSF
41
Spinal pia mater
 
attached tightly to spinal chord - some pia sheets attach to dura mater to provide support
42
Epidural space
 
between spinal dura and veterbral bone - contains fat tissue and venous plexus
43
# of ventricles
 
4
44
Ventricles
 
2 Lateral, 3rd, 4th - contain CSF
45
Parts of lateral ventricle
 
anterior horn, body, posterior horn, inferior horn
46
Choroid plexus
 
body + inferior horn of lateral ventricles - roof of 3rd ventricle - inferior medullary velum...
47
3rd ventricle
 
between lateral ventricle and cerebral aqueduct
48
4th ventricle
 
between cerebellum, pons and medulla
49
4th ventricle roof
 
superior medullary velum and inferior medullary velum
50
CSF
 
clear liquid produced by choroid plexuses from each ventricle
51
CNS
 
central nervous system
52
nervous system arises from
 
the embryonic ectoderm
53
describe CNS development
 
embryonic ectoderm form neural plate, neural plate folds in to form neural tube - neural crest...
54
anterior neural tube forms
 
brain
55
posterior neural tube forms
 
spinal cord
56
cerebral arteries arise from
 
basilar artery
57
posterior cerebral artery supplies
 
posterior 1/3 of frontal hemispheres, occipital lobes, inferior temporal lobe, brainstem, 3rd...
58
middle cerebral artery supplies
 
almost all lateral surface of cerebral hemispheres
59
anterior cerebral artery supplies
 
anterior 2/3 of cerebral hemispheres and basal nuclei
60
anterior cerebral artery travels along
 
latitudinal fissure
61
general blood drainage of brain
 
fine veins, pial venous plexuses, cerebral veins, dural venous sinuses, internal jugular vein...
62
stroke
 
occlusion of blood vessel that causes reduction of blood and neuro dysfunction
63
Venous sinuses
 
between layers of dura mater - receive blood - receive CSF
64
