consistency like cold porridge: shearing between parts/meninges

no room for expansion (meningitis - � down underneath skull, compress brainstem, judge clinically braindead)

 

CSF continually production � ventricles

contained between pia arachnoid + arachnoid layer

arachnoid gradients

 

� sitting between two hemispheres down the central sulcus

sagittal sinus here

 

occiput � back/bottom

 

central sulcus � divides front/parietal lobe

 

pre-central � motor

 

superior � up, inferior � down

 

anterior/ventral � front

posterior/dorsal � back

 

rostral/cranial � head (going higher)

caudal � going lower

 

superficial � near surface

deep � further inside

sagittal � plane chopping from front back

suture on the skull bone

 

mid-sagittal � centre-parting

para-sagittal � moving parallel

 

coronal plane � side to side

suture � ear ear

 

horiz/axial � plane eyes deeper

 

lateral/medial relative

to the mid-sagittal plane

 

orbito � eyes

 

ventricles produce CSF � 4 � drain out of the 4th through the aqueduct of Sylvium � midline canal of spinal cord

 

superior colliculus � co-ordination of eye movements

inferior colliculus � auditory pathway

 

optic chiasm � nasal fibre crosses

 

masa intermedia - � connecting the thalami

 

pituitary tumour � lose temporal vision

 

fornix (in the limbic system) � inferior to the corpus collosum

 

topographical representation of homunculus � cranial � lateral

for somatosensory + motor

 

anosnic(???) � no sense of smell

 

deccisatoin � spreading/flowing out

homonomous hermiaopia(???)
