EXAM QUESTION VERIFIED ANSWER A+
1. What is the order of layers that protect the S- skin
brain? C- connective tissue
A- aponeurosa
L- loose connective tissue
P- pericranium
2. Which layer of the meninges is perforated to Dura mater
allow room for cranial nerves and blood
vessels?
,3. Separations of the ________ membranes Dura
create sinuses that are important for the
venous drainage system.
4. The _____________ layer has trabeculae that Arachnoid
suspend the brain.
5. True or false: True
Arachnoid granulation serve as one way
valves to the duralumin sinus.
6. True or false: True
Dentate ligaments are pia mater.
7. What is significant about the epidural space? It contains the middle meningeal artery (a
branch off of the external carotid)
8. What goes through foramen spinosum? middle meningeal artery
9. An ___________ _____________ is Epidural hematoma
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.
, 10. The ____________ space is between the dura Subdural
and the arachnoid. Contains bridging veins
that cross at the subdural space and drain into
the venous sinuses.
11. What is a subdural hematoma? Rupture of the bridging veins which are
susceptible to shear forces. Two types:
chronic (elderly) and acute
12. The _______________ space is between the Subarachnoid
arachnoid and pia mater. Contains major
arteries of the brain as well as CSF.
13. What is a subarachnoid hemorrhage? Two types: traumatic and non traumatic,
bleeding into the CSF, presents as a
severe HA
14. Common herniations? Central, tonsillar, uncal transtenorial,
