(Return to Courseware Index) Scalp, Interior of Skull LAB MANUAL |Topic and Text Reference | Learning Objectives | Special Instructions | Clinical Exercises | Key Structures TOPIC AND TEXT REFERENCE: SCALP AND INTERIOR OF SKULL PP. 156-161 LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Identify the layers of the scalp. Observe the suture lines of the skull. Identify the meningeal layers. Identify the subarachnoid space and understand the pathway of the cerebrospinal fluid. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAB TODAY: Pg. 156: The scalp incisions have already been made for you. Pg. 158: The calvaria have already been removed on the even numbered tables. Pg. 158: We will not be doing the removal of wedge of occipital bone. Pg. 159: Since we are not removing the wedge of occipital bone, the transverse sinus will not be visible until the brain is removed. Pg. 161: Today's lab finishes right before the removal of the brain. However if you wish to go ahead and remove the brain, ask a faculty member to assist you. CLINICAL CORRELATIONS AND EXERCISES: 1. Where is the "dangerous area" in the scalp? Why is it called that? 2. What artery is often the cause of an epidural hematoma? 3. How does a subdural hematoma differ from an epidural hematoma? 4. Where does CSF originate and how is it recycled? KEY STRUCTURES: You should be able to identify in a cadaver all the structures listed under key words unless they have an asterisk. structure Netter's Gold Standard structure Netter's Gold Standard Arteries     Structures cont.     Middle meningeal N1   Lacunae laterales N1   Superficial Temporal N1   Pia mater N1   Supraorbital N1   Subarachnoid space N1   Muscles     Supraorbital foramen N1   Occipitofrontalis N1   Falx Cerebri N1   Temporalis N1   Groove for superior sagittal sinus N1   Nerves     Groove for middle meningeal artery branches N1   Supraorbital Nerve N1         Structures     Veins     Arachnoid N1   Cerebral veins N1   Arachnoid granulations N1   Superior sagittal sinus N1   Dura Mater N1                             |Topic and Text Reference | Learning Objectives | Special Instructions | Clinical Exercises | Key Structures
