Pia mater

- what is it?
where is it?
It is a delicate investment that is closely applied to the brain and dips into fissures and sulci;
it enmeshes blood vessels on the surface of the brain
Arachnoid layer
Is located outside the pia mater;
is connected to the pia mater by web-like trabeculations;
Subarachnoid space

is between what two layers?
Contains what?
btw pia mater and arachnoid mater, filled with CSF
Arachnoid villi
projections of arachnoid layer into the venous sinuses;

is the site where CSF drains into blood
CSF

- where is it found?
where is it produces?
found in the subarachnoid space btw pia and arachnoid layers; found in ventricles of the brain; formed by choracoid plexuses in the ventricles
Dura mater

- where is it?
what does it form?
tough, fibroud OUTERMOST layer of meninges;
forms the DURAL VENOUS SINUSES
Epidural Space
lies outside the dura mater,
is a POTENTIAL space that contains the middle meningeal artery in the cranial cavity
Subdural Space
is internal to the dura mater, between the dura mater and arachnoid mater
Pial hemorrhage
due to damage to the small vessels of the pia and brain tissue
Cerebral hemorrhage
caused by rupture of the LENTICULOSTRIATE arteries
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
due to rupture of CEREBRAL arteries, CIRCLE OF WILLIS
Subdural hematoma
due to rupture of CEREBRAL VEIN
Epidural hematoma
rupture of MIDDLE MENINGEAL ARTERY
Innervation of the dura mater

from what nerves?
1) anterior and posterior ethmoidal from V1

2) Meningeal branches of maxillary and mandibular

3) Meningeal branches of vagus & hypoglossal
Falx Cerebri

- what is it?
what does it contain?

lies btw the cerebral hemispheres;
contains the inferior sagittal sinus & superior sagittal sinus

what is it attached to?
covers the cerebellum;
free border is attached to anterior

clinoid process;
attached border is attached to the posterior clinoid process
