[Music] in this video we will cover the superficial and deep veins of the cerebrum both of which drain into the dural venous sinuses first we will examine the deep veins so the deep veins of this cerebrum drain into the great cerebral vein this vein travels posterior Li and in turn drains into the straight sinus so the great cerebral vein has two major sets of tributaries the first are the internal cerebral veins these veins are closely associated with the thalamus which you can see here highlighted in green and they're also associated with the choroid plexus of the lateral and hard ventricles these veins travel posteriorly where they unite to form the great cerebral vein the second set of tributaries are the basil veins these veins also extend posteriorly and they're closely associated with midbrain structures and they drain into the great cerebral thing which in turn drains into the straight sinus so these are the deep cerebral veins next we're going to talk about the superficial venous drainage and to do so we're going to have to rotate the model around laterally so we can see here the lateral aspect of the cerebrum on the left hand side and we can see that there are several things these can be grouped into a group of superior cerebral veins and a superficial middle cerebral thing so let us first look at these superior veins these veins extend along the lateral surface superiorly and they drain into the superior sagittal sinus we can see the superior sagittal sinus within the fog cerebri the superficial middle cerebral veins traveled within the lateral are Sylvian fissure and drains into three different sinuses Sophia as superior honest a magic vein it drains into the superior side silenced via an inferior and asked a magic vein you traveled inferiorly and drains into the transverse sinus if again we go back to the superficial middle cerebral vein and we follow its course anteriorly we will see that it actually extends internally and drains into the cavernous sinus so the middle superficial cerebral vein drains it to the cavernous sinus it drains into the superior sagittal sinus and it also drains into the transverse sinus so that's the end of this tutorial we'd love to hear your feedback and what you thought of this video and what topics you'd like us to cover in the future you can do this by leaving a comment or dropping us an email you
