What is the route to supply blood to the cerebellum, brain stem, and posterior cerebral hemispheres? (3 parts)
- 1) vertebral arteries -> foramen magnum
- 2) basilar artery

What fluid is CSF produced from? How does this occur?

Blood: plasma leaks out at the choroid plexus in the ventricles and become CSF
After CSF circulates through the spinal cord and brain, where does it end up?

It ends up in the subarachnoid space to be returned to the blood via the arachnoid granulations
Which dura mater contains the superior sagittal sinus?
- falx cerebri
T or F: the superior sagittal sinus contains venus blood.

True: this is also whre CSF is returned to the blood
What is the route of venous return? (4 main parts)
- 1. superior sagittal sinus -> 2. transverse sinus -> 3. sigmoid sinuses -> 4 internal jugular veins (-> 5. brachiocephalic vein -> 6. superior vena cava -> 7. heart)
- a) gyri
- b) sulci
- c) fissure
