ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS

---

A) Straight sinus; Superior sagittal sinus

This answer is incorrect.

In general, the superficial veins lie on the surface of the cerebral hemispheres, and most empty into the superior sagittal sinus, whereas the deep veins drain internal structures and eventually empty into the straight sinus.  (See References)

B) Superior sagittal sinus; Basal vein

This answer is incorrect.

In general, the superficial veins lie on the surface of the cerebral hemispheres, and most empty into the superior sagittal sinus, whereas the deep veins drain internal structures and eventually empty into the straight sinus. The basal vein (of Rosenthal) is considered a deep vein that drains into the straight sinus.  (See References)
