The brain is a complex organ that requires a significant supply of oxygenated blood to the brain tissue in order to maintain proper function. It is supplied with this oxygen-rich blood via the internal carotid system and the vertebrobasilar system. Because of the limited amount of space within the cranial vault, however, venous drainage of the brain is carried out via a specialized system of channels or sinuses known as the dural venous sinuses. These sinuses which are situated between the periosteal and meningeal layers of the dura mater collect venous blood from the cerebral veins and eventually drain into the internal jugular veins. This system is an integral part of the vasculature of the brain and the superior sagittal sinus is the largest of the dural venous sinuses of the brain.

In the full version of this tutorial, we'll familiarize ourselves with the bones, vasculature and parts of the brain that can be examined at the level of the superior sagittal sinus.

Just to give you a quick overview of the tutorial, we will be discussing:
- the meninges of the brain;
- the superior sagittal sinus, the frontal and parietal lobes;
- the bones of the skull that can be seen at this level;
- and to wrap it up, we'll look at the muscle and blood vessels visible in this cross-section.
