Watershed Regionswhere to blood vessels run out distally, i.e., “border-zone regions with decreased blood supply
Venous sinuses In several locations the layers of dura separate to make venous dural sinuses. -Veins of the brain drain into a sinus --They have to “bridge” across the subarachnoid space and penetrate the arachnoid and dura to reach the sinus
Venous Sinuses S, superior sagittal sinus; L, lateral lacunae; G, arachnoid granulations; A, cerebral artery; C, cerebral vein; D, diploic vein; E, emissary vein; M, meningeal vein.
Venous sinuses Largest of the sinuses is: -Superior sagittal sinus Smaller ones; -inferior sagittal sinus: joins with the great cerebral vein to make the straight sinus -straight sinus runs in the tentorium and meets the superior sagittal sinus at the confluence of sinuses -transverse sinuses run laterally and become the sigmoid sinuses which become the internal jugular vein
