What is the Clavaria? What is the Diploe?

The calvaria or skullcap (feminine Latin noun with plural calvariae; however, many medical texts list the word as calvarium, neuter Latin noun with plural calvaria) is the upper part of the neurocranium and covers the cranial cavity containing the brain. \




The Diploe is composed of cancellous bone between the upper and lower table components that form the Clavaria, it contains red bone marrow inside.

Where is the Epidural& subdural located?

Epidural ("Extradural") is located between the Lower table and the Dura matter.




The Subdural layer is located between the dura matter and the Subarachnoid space.

Where are the Dural/ Venous Sinuses located in the skull?What do they do? Where do they drain?

Located between/within Dura matter.


They receive blood from internal and external veins of the brain, receive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space, and ultimately empty into the internal jugular vein.

What are the 5 layers of the scalp?

Skin


Dense C/T


Aponeurosis


Loose C/T


Pericranium

What are the two layers the Dura Matter is composed of?

Periosteal layer: Periosteum consists of dense irregular connective tissue, which attaches the Dura Sinues and the Calvaria to ensure they don't collapse.


The meninges are three layers of protective tissue called the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater that surround the neuraxis.

Where doe the Facial Nerve originate (Neurons origins), what structure does it enter? What branches from it? What does it innervate?

The fascial nerve arrises from the Pons and Medulla junction. The Fascial nerve enters the internal auditory meatus (Along with the Vestibulocochlear nerve).




It travels through the Acustic Canal until it reaches the Genicular Ganglion. From there it branches into the Greater Petrosal Nerve. This nerve turns up into the internal skull and enter the Foramen Lacerum. The fibers meet with the Pterygopalatine Ganglion (Parasympathetic) and than innervates the Lacriminal Gland




The Facial nerve (from the Acustic canal) will run a branch called the "Horizontal segment". From here, Nerve to Stapedius and Chorda Tympani branch. The nerve to stapedius innervates the Stapedius muscle, and the Chorda Tympani will exit through the Petrotempanic fissure. It becomes the Lingual Nerve joining with a branch from the Mandibular nerve. The Facial nerve picks up taste from the anterior 2/3rds via the Tensor Tympani.

Describe the Greater petrosal nerves role.

The Greater Petrosal nerve carries Preganglionic nerve fibers from the Superior Salvitory Neuron in the PONS. The greater petrosal nerve travels through the Internal Auditory Meatus along with the facial nerve and exits through a Fossa in the petrous part of the temporal bone. The nerve carries to the Foramen Lacerum which is near the apex of the petrous part of the temporal bone.

The deep petrosal nerve is a sympathetic postganglionic nerve that emerges from the Superior Cervical Sympathetic Ganglion. The deep petrosal nerve wraps around the Internal Carotid Artery and enters the petrous part of the temporal bone. There it branches off to the Foramen Lacerum where it joins with the fibers of the Superior Petrous nerve and form the Vidian/Pterygoid Canal nerve. This nerve passes through the Pterygoid canal.


The Vidian/Pterygoid canal nerve emerges through the Pterygoid fossa and synapases with the Pterygopalatine Ganglia.


This pterygopalatine Ganglia does not relay the Sympathetic cervical fibers. Only the parasympathetic fibers from the Superficial Petrosal nerve.

It recieve Preganglionic Parasympathetic neuclus from the Inferior Salvivary nuclus located in the PONS. These preganglionic fibers leaves the PONS via the GLossopharngeal nerve. The Glossopharyngeal nerve passes through the Jugular FOramen, and gives rise to a Typanic Branch that returns back up through a small foremen near the Jugular foramen and forms the Tympanic Plexus.


Emerging off the Tympanic Plexus is the Lesser Petrosal Nerve, this nerve enters the Foramen Ovale and synapses with the Otic Ganglia. The postganglionic parasympathetic fibers will innervate the Parotid Gland via the Auriculotemporal N. (Branch of the mandibular nerve)

What is the path of the hypoglossal nerve?

Hypoglossalnerve CN XII leaves the cranium via the hypoglossal canal and passes deep tothe mandible to enter the tongue, where it supplies: all intrinsic andextrinsic lingual mm except the palatoglossus. CN XII is joined (distal tohypoglossal canal) by a branch conveying fibers from the C1 APR of cervicalplexus. These fibers hitch a ride with CN XII, leaving it as: a) superior rootof the ansa cervicalis/descending hypoglossi; b) nerve to thyrohyoid m; c)nerve to Geniohyoid muscle.






The Hypoglossal nerve arises aspurely somatomotor nerve by several rootlets from the medulla and leaves thecranium through the hypoglossal canal. It emerges from its canal in a planemedial to the internal jugular vein , internal carotid artery, ninth, tenth andeleventh cranial nerves to the interval btw the internal jugular vein andinternal carotid artery. It has connection with the inferior vagal ganglion. Itbecomes superficial below the posterior belly of the digastric emerging btwinternal jugular vein and internal carotid artery. Then, it loops round theoccipital artery, crosses lateral to both internal and external arteries andthe loop of the lingual artery a little above the tip of the greater cornu ofthe hyoid bone. It inclines up and forwards on the hyoglossus by passing deep to the digastrics’ tendon,stylohyoid and the posterior border of the mylohyoid. At this point the nerve is inferior to thedeep part of the submandibular gland, submandibular duct and the lingual nerve.It then passes on the lateral aspect of the genioglossus, continuing forwards in its substance as far as thetip of the tongue and distributing fibers in this muscle. CN XII ends in manylingual branches that supply all intrinsic and the extrinsic muscles of thetongue (styloglossus, hyoglossus, and genioglossus, except the palatoglossus). v After exiting the cranial cavity, CN XII isjoined by the branches of the cervical plexus conveying general somatic motorfibers from C1 (small C2) spinal nerves and somatic general sensory fibers fromthe dorsal spinal ganglion C2. These spinal nerve fibers “hitch a ride” with CNXII to reach the hyoid muscles , with some of the sensory fibers passing retrograde along it to reach the dura materof the posterior cranial fossa. v A meningeal branch returns to the cranium through the hypoglossal canal and innervatesthe dura mater on the floor and posterior wall of the posterior cranial fossa.The nerve fibers conveyed are from the sensory spinal ganglion of spinal nerveC2 and are NOT hypoglossal nerve. v Branches continue:o Descending hypoglossi or superior root of the ansacervicalis (C1) leaves the hypoglossal nerve were it curves round the occipitalartery and then descends anterior to or in the carotid sheath. It contains only fibers from the first cervicalspinal nerve. After giving a branch to the superior belly of omohyoid, it isjoined by the inferior root of the ansa from the second and third cervicalspinal nerves. The two roots form the ansa cervicalis from which branchessupply the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and inferior belly of the omohyoid. o The nerves to the thyrohyoid andgeniohyoid arisenear the posterior border of the hyoglossus and cross obliquely the greatercornu of the hyoid to supply the thyrohyoid and geniohyoid; they contain thefibers of the APR of C1 spinal nerve.5V.&F@~Z@

What does the Ans Cervicalis supply?

Superior belly of Omohyoid, Sternohyoid, Sternothyroid, and inferior belly of omohyoid.


Also Geniohyoid and Thyrohyoid.

Which branches of the Lingual artery do not communicate with each other in the tongue?

o Lingual artery brings the chief supply to the tongue and oral floorof the mouth, arises anteromedially from the external carotid artery oppositethe tip of the hyoid’ greater cornu. It passes medial/deep to the posteriorborder of hyoglossus muscle and then deep to it, and courses sinuouslyforwards on the tongue’s inferiorsurface as far as its tip. Branches:sublingual a, suprahyoid, and terminal: dorsal lingual and deep lingual aa. o Dorsal lingual aa supply the Root ofthe tongue; and Deep lingual aa supply the body of the tongue.


o The deep lingual aa communicate witheach other near the apex of the tongue.


o The dorsal lingual aa are prevented fromcommunicating by the lingual septum.

When the Hypoglossal Nerve is lessioned, what side will the Apex of the tongue deviate too?

The paralytic side, because of the actions of the Genioglossus muscle.
