  2. Middle meningeal artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_meningeal_artery

    The anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery runs beneath the pterion. It is vulnerable to injury at this point, where the skull is thin. Rupture of the artery may give rise to an epidural hematoma. In the dry cranium, the middle meningeal, which runs within the dura mater surrounding the brain, makes a deep groove in the calvarium.

  3. Meningeal lymphatic vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meningeal_lymphatic_vessels

    In peripheral organs, lymphatic vessels are responsible for conducting lymph between different parts of the body. In general, lymphatic drainage is important for maintaining fluid homeostasis as well as providing a means for immune cells to traffic into draining lymph nodes from other parts of the body, allowing for immune surveillance of bodily tissues.

  4. Middle cranial fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_cranial_fossa

    Lateral to the foramen ovale is the foramen spinosum, for the passage of the middle meningeal vessels, and a recurrent branch from the mandibular nerve. Medial to the foramen ovale is the foramen lacerum ; in the fresh state the lower part of this aperture is filled up by a layer of fibrocartilage , while its upper and inner parts transmit the ...

  5. Parietal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_bone

    Its inner surface is marked by a deep groove, sometimes a canal, for the anterior divisions of the middle meningeal artery. The occipital angle is rounded and corresponds with the point of meeting of the sagittal and lambdoidal sutures—a point which is termed the lambda; in the fetus this part of the skull is membranous, and is called the ...

  6. Meninges - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meninges

    The middle region is a mostly fibrous portion. It consists of two layers: the endosteal layer, which lies closest to the skull, and the inner meningeal layer, which lies closer to the brain. [7] It contains larger blood vessels that split into the capillaries in the pia mater. It is composed of dense fibrous tissue, and its inner surface is ...

  7. Foramen spinosum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foramen_spinosum

    The foramen spinosum is a small open hole in the greater wing of the sphenoid bone that gives passage to the middle meningeal artery and vein, and the meningeal branch of the mandibular nerve (sometimes it passes through the foramen ovale instead).

  8. Accessory meningeal artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_meningeal_artery

    The accessory meningeal artery (also accessory branch of middle meningeal artery, pterygomeningeal artery, small meningeal or parvidural branch) is a branch of the maxillary artery that ascends through the foramen ovale to enter the cranial cavity and supply the dura mater of the floor of the middle cranial fossa and of the trigeminal cave, and to the trigeminal ganglion (representing the main ...

  9. Middle meningeal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_meningeal_nerve

    The middle meningeal nerve (meningeal or dural branch) is given off from the maxillary nerve (CN V 2) directly after its origin from the trigeminal ganglion, before CN V 2 enters the foramen rotundum. It accompanies the middle meningeal artery and vein once the artery and vein enter the cranium through the foramen spinosum and supplies the dura ...
