Question | Answer |
---|---|
internal carotid artery | lies within the cavernous sinus |
internal carotid artery | supplies tributaries to the dura, hypophysis, tympanic cavity and trigeminal ganglion |
internal carotid artery | gives branches to the optic nerve, optic chiasm, hypothalamus, and genu of the internal capsule |
central artery of retina | branch of the ophthalmic artery, occlusion results in blindness, supplies inner 5 layers of retina |
posterior communicating artery | supplies optic chiasm nad tract, hypothalamus, subthalamus, and anterior half of the ventral portion of thalamus; arises from carotid siphon and joins posterior cerebral |
anterior choroidal | arises from the internal carotid; supplies the choriod plexus of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle, hippocampus, amygdale, optic tract, lateral geniculate body, globus pallidus |
anterior cerebral artery | gives direct branches to optic chiasm; supplies the medial surface of the frontal and parietal lobes and corpus callosum: supplies leg and foot area of the motor and sensory cortices |
anterior communicating artery | connects two anterior cerebral arteries |
middle cerebral artery | supplies lateral convexity of the hemisphere and underlying insula; supplies trunk, arm, and face area of the motor and sensory cortices; supplies Broca’s and Wernicke’s |
vertebral arteries | is a branch of the subclavian artery |
vertebral arteries | joins its opposite partner to form the basilar |
posterior inferior cerebellar artery | gives rise to posterior spinal artery; supplies the dorsolateral zone of the medulla; supplies the inferior surface of the cerebellum and the choriod plexus of the 4th ventricle; supplies CN IX and X |
basilar artery | formed by two vertebral arteries |
pontine arteries | supply the corticospinal tracts and CNVI |
labrynthine artery | perfuses the cochlea and the vestibular apparatus |
anterior inferior cerebellar artery | supplies the inferior surface of the cerebellum; supplies the facial nucleus,spinal trigeminal nucleas and tract, vestibular nuclei, cochlear nuclei, spinothalamic tract |
superior cerebellar artery | supplies the superior surface of the cerebellum and the cerebellar nuclei; supplies the rostal and lateral pons |
posterior cerebral artery | formed by bifurcation of the basilar artery; provides major blood supply to midbrain; supplies occipital lobe, visual cortex and inferior surface of the temporal lobe |
arterial circle of willis | formed by the anterior communicating, anterior cerebral, and internal carotid, posterior communicating, and posterior cerebral arteries |
arterial circle of willis | gives off penetrating arteries to supply the ventral diencephalons and the midbrain |
meningial arteries | supply the intracranial dura |
meningial arteries | usually arise from the branches of the external carotid artery |
anterior meningial arteries | arise from the anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries; supply the dura of the anterior cranial fossa |
middle meningial arthery | branch of the maxillary artery; enters cranium via foramen spinosum; supplies most of the dura; laceration results in epidural hematoma |
posterior meningeal arteries | are branches of ascending pharyngeal, vertebral, and occipital arteries; supply the dura of the posterior cranial fossa |
superficial cerebral viens | devoid of valves and lie along surface sulci |
superficial cerebral viens | arise form the cortex and subcortical medullary substance and terminate in the dural sinuses |
superficial cerebral viens | lie superficial to arteries and are considered meningeal veins |
superior cerebral veins | drain into the superior sagittal sinus; laceration results in subdural hematoma |
middle cerebral vein | overlies lateral sulcus and drains into cavernous sinus; communicates with the transverse sinus |
inferior cerebral veins | drain the inferior lateral and basal surface of the hemisphere |
medial cerebral veins | drain medial surface of hemisphere, including the corpus callosum, into the inferior sagittal sinus |
basal vein | drains the orbital surface of the frontal love, insula, and sorpus stiratum; encircles the brainstem and drains into the great vein of galen |
internal cerebral veins | paired parallel vessles situated lateral to the midline and on the roof of the 3rd ventricle |
internal cerebral veins | join the great vein of galen |
great cerebral vein of galen | located below the splenium of the corpus callosum in transverse cerebral fissure |
great cerebral vein of galen | receives two internal cerebral veins, two basal veins, two occipital veins and the posterior callosal vein |
great cerebral vein of galen | joins the inferior sagittal sinus and the straight sinus |
venous dural sinuses | are endothelial lined valveless channels whose walls are formed by two layers of dura matter |
venous dural sinuses | collect blood from the superficial and deep cerebral veins and the calvarium and represent the major drainage pathway of the cranial cavity |
venous dural sinuses | receive arachnoid granulations and absorb CSF |
superior sagittal sinus | extends from the foramen cecum to the internal occipital protuberance and usually terminates in the right transverse sinus; communicates with the nasal emissary veins; receives superficial cerebral veins, diploic veins, and parietal emissary veins |
inferior sagittal sinus | courses in the inferior free edge of the falx cerebri; joins the great cerebral vein to form the straight sinus |
straight sinus | is formed by the great cerebral vein and the inferior sagittal sinus; terminates at the internal occipital protuberance and usually drains into the left transverse sinus; drains the superior surface of the cerebellum |
left and right transverse sinuses | originate at the confluence of the sinuses and coutse anterolaterally along the edge of the entorium cerebelli to become the sigmoid sinus; receives venous blood from the termporal and occipital lobes |
confluence of the sinuses | lies at the internal occipital protuberance; is formed by the unsion of the superior sagittal, straight, and transverse sinuses |
sigmoid sinus | is a continuation of the transverse sinus; passes inferiorly and medially into the jugular foramen |
spenoparietal sinus | lies along the curve of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone and drains into the cavernous sinus |
superior petrosal sinus | extends from the cavernous sinus to the sigmoid sinus; receives tributaries from the pons, medulla, cerebellum, and inner ear |
inferior petrosal sinus | passes between glossopharyngeal (9) and vagal nerves and drains into the jugular bulb; receives major venous drainage from the inferior portion of the cerebellum; drains the cavernous sinus and clival plexus into the internal jugular vein |
cavernous sinus | surrounds sella turcica and the body of the sphenoid bone; contains within the simus, the internal carotid artery, sympathetic plexus, and abducent nerve; contains within the lateral wall of the sinus, the CN III, IV, V1, V2; receives blood from |
