Skull
1. Neurocranium 'br box'

2. Facial sk -> bones o nose, mouth orbit
Neurocranium (8 bones)
frontal
2 parietal
2 temporal
occipital
sphenoid
ethmoid
MENINGES
1)DURA
2)ARACHNOID
3)PIA
DURA
thick conn tiss

periosteum of skull
ARACHNOID
thin + collagenous

attached to Dura
PIA
thin + collagenous

att to CNS
3 Meningeal Spaces
1) EXTRADURAL - btw cr bones + dura (path)

2) EPIDURAL - btwe parietal and meningeal dura (path)

3) SUBARACH - btw arach + pia (true - filled w CSF)
Dural Septa (reflections)
FALX CEREBRI - sep R+L cerebral hemispheres

TENTORIUM CEREBELI - sep occipital lobe from brstem + cerebellum
Dural Venous Sinuses
receive all venous drainage of bl:

SUP SAG SINUS

TRNSV SINUSES
Arach Villi
outpocketing of arach through Venous Sinus
Blood Source:
MMA
Dural Venous Sinus
Cerebr art/V
Bleeding/Hematoma:
Epidural
Sub/Epi dural
Subarach hmrrg
Herniations
from on intracr compart to another bc dura are tough,
but BR SOFT + SQUISHY
Ventricles + communications
2 lat
(IV foreamen)
3rd V
(cerebral aqueduct)
4th V
Ventricle fn
make CSF (clear, colourless, low pr)

exits via 3 apetures:
2 lat
1 median
Choroid Plx
formed where Ependyma (lines CNS) meets Pia

NO NEURAL TISS INTERFERES

Here, chr epith forms (secretory)

In all 4 ventricles (lat v's make most)
Choroid Epith
Have tight jns

Secrete CSF
CSF fns
1. decrease wt of CNS ('CNS floats' in CSF) allowing meninges to supp it

2. Regulates ECF of n's

3. 'Spatial Bufferring'
-br box only allows enter when sthing exits
-each HB pumps bl into br
-CSF sloshes in+out of foramen magnum w each HB
