Cranium - -Medical name for the skull
-encases and protects brain tissue - -Function of the cranium
-Parietal, Temporal, Sphenoid, cribform plate, frontal, occipital, - -Bones
that fuse together to form the cranium
-foramen magnum - -The primary opening through which pressure can be
released, located at the base of the skull, where the spinal cord passes
through
-controls all bodily functions and processes - -Function of the brain
-Mandible - -Medical name for lower jaw bone
-Maxillae - -Medical name for fused bones of the upper jaw
-zygomatic bones - -Medical name for cheekbones
-Nasal bone - -Provides some of the structure of the nose
-Meninges - -Name of the three membranes that cover the brain
-Dura mater - -The outermost brain membrane and most resilient
-Arachnoid - -Center layer membrane of the brain
-Pia mater - -The thin most inner layer brain membrane
-Cerebrum - -The largest part of the brain, houses sensory functions, motor
functions, and higher intellectual functions such as intelligence and memory
-Cerebellum - -Part of the brain that controls primitive functions,
coordination, and balance
-Brain stem - -Part of the brain that controls body functions such as cardio-
respiratory functions
-In the ventricles of the brain - -Where is cerebrospinal fluid produced?
, -Linear skull fractures - -Skull fractures that transverse the the full thickness
of the skull
-Linear skull fracture - -Type of fractures that account for 80% of skull
fractures
-Depressed skull fractures - -Type of skull fracture in which fragments of the
bone are driven toward underlying tissue
-Closed - -Which type of depressed skull fracture increases the risk for
intracranial hematoma?
-Basilar skull fracture - -Fracture on the floor of the cranium
-Basilar skull fracture - -What type of fracture should be suspected if
casualty has CSF draining from nostrils and ears, Periorbital ecchymosis
(raccoon eyes), and ecchymosis behind the ears (battle's sign)?
-Nasal fracture - -Type of fracture if the casualty has epistaxis, edema,
ecchymosis, nasal deformity, and crepitus?
-Mandible fracture - -Type of fracture in which the casualty complains of
teeth "not fitting together"

asymmetrical or flattened face
-Evidence of head injury - -Contraindication for nasopharyngeal airway?
-Hyperventilation - -What should be avoided when managing breathing for
casualties with suspected head injuries?
-20 breaths per minute - -What is the ventilation rate of a casualty with
suspected increased intracranial pressure?
-Can contribute to ischemia through vasoconstriction - -What can
hyperventilation do to casualties with a TBI?
-Yes, if they can vocalize pain then the TBI is not severe enough to be
further damaged by pain meds - -If the patient can vocalize their head pain
should the medic give pain medication?
-Morphine - -Pain medication that should be avoided with TBI casualties
-Fentanyl and Ketamine - -Two pain medications that can make a moderate
to severe TBI worse but can be used for mild TBI?
