Pia mater
- what is it? where is it? |
It is a delicate investment that is closely applied to the brain and dips into fissures and sulci;
it enmeshes blood vessels on the surface of the brain |
|
Arachnoid layer
|
Is located outside the pia mater;
is connected to the pia mater by web-like trabeculations; |
|
Subarachnoid space
is between what two layers? Contains what? |
btw pia mater and arachnoid mater, filled with CSF
|
|
Arachnoid villi
|
projections of arachnoid layer into the venous sinuses;
is the site where CSF drains into blood |
|
CSF
- where is it found? where is it produces? |
found in the subarachnoid space btw pia and arachnoid layers; found in ventricles of the brain; formed by choracoid plexuses in the ventricles
|
|
Dura mater
- where is it? what does it form? |
tough, fibroud OUTERMOST layer of meninges;
forms the DURAL VENOUS SINUSES |
