What is significant about the epidural space? - CORRECT-ANSWER-It
| | | | | | | |
contains the middle meningeal artery (a branch off of the external
| | | | | | | | | | |
carotid)
|
,What goes through foramen spinosum? - CORRECT-ANSWER-middle
| | | | | |
meningeal artery
| |
An | is typically the result of traumatic | | | | |
rupture of the MMA due to temporal bone fracture. May initially be
| | | | | | | | | | | |
asymptomatic but within hours have increased ICP, herniation, and
| | | | | | | | |
death. - CORRECT-ANSWER-Epidural hematoma
| | | |
The | space is between the dura and the arachnoid. | | | | | | |
Contains bridging veins that cross at the subdural space and drain into
| | | | | | | | | | | |
the venous sinuses. - CORRECT-ANSWER-Subdural
| | | | |
What is a subdural hematoma? - CORRECT-ANSWER-Rupture of the
| | | | | | | |
bridging veins which are susceptible to shear forces. Two types: chronic
| | | | | | | | | | |
(elderly) and acute
| | |
The | space is between the arachnoid and pia mater. | | | | | | |
Contains major arteries of the brain as well as CSF. - CORRECT-
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER-Subarachnoid
|

| | | | | | |
traumatic and non traumatic, bleeding into the CSF, presents as a
| | | | | | | | | | |
severe HA

magendie
|
True or false:
| |
The choroid plexus exists within each of the ventricles and is constantly
| | | | | | | | | | |
producing CSF, creating a small pressure gradient. - CORRECT-ANSWER-
| | | | | | | | |
True (functions are buoyancy, cushioning, cleaning, and ionic balance)
| | | | | | | | |
The choroid plexus is made of
| | cells that produce CSF | | | | | | |
and assist in circulating it by movement of their cilli. - CORRECT-
| | | | | | | | | | | |
