Explain which space each of the following hematomas would be located within and briefly describe the key symptoms associated with each
a. Epidural hematoma- when the skull is damaged at pterion and the sharp edges of the bone damage the middle meningeal artery, which normally supplies the dura mater with blood. When this artery is cut, it releases blood that begins pushing the dura mater away from the skull, pooling into a mass of blood that can compress the brain. b. Subdural hematoma- symptoms can take days to be noticed, when the skull is damaged at pterion and the sharp edges of the bone damage the middle meningeal artery, which normally supplies the dura mater with blood. When this artery is cut, it releases blood that begins pushing the dura mater away from the skull, pooling into a mass of blood that can compress the brain. c. Subarachnoid hematoma- arteries supplying blood to the brain burst or are otherwise damaged. These arteries are found in the subarachnoid space, and one of the most common causes of arterial rupture in the brain is hypertension.

Differentiate the fiber direction and location of the following muscles
a. External abdominal oblique- These muscle fibers from in the same direction as if you were to put your hands in your pockets, diagonally downward from lateral to medial. When both sides contract, it flexes the trunk. When only one side contracts, it helps you rotate and/or laterally flex the trunk. b. Internal abdominal oblique- Its fibers run perpendicular to the external oblique muscle, beginning in the thoracolumbar fascia of the lower back, the anterior 2/3 of the iliac crest (upper part of hip bone) and the lateral half of the inguinal ligament. ... In males, the cremaster muscle is also attached to the internal oblique. c. Rectus abdominis- The fibers run vertically and help stabilize the pelvis while walking, and of course help flex and/or rotate the trunk. The origin is the pubic crest and the pubic symphysis. The insertion is the xiphoid process and costal cartilages of ribs 5-7. d. Transversus abdominis- It is a thin sheet of muscle whose fibers run horizontally anteriorly. It arises as fleshy fibers from the deep surface of the lower six costal cartilages, the lumbar fascia, the anterior two-thirds of the iliac crest and the lateral third of the inguinal ligament.
