|
In the Brain, the gray matter lies in two places:
Submerged deeply subcortical centers : -thalamus -basal ganglia -cranial nerve nuclei -also associated w/ thalamus with sensory and emotional). |
|
|
|
In both sites the axons become arranged into groups called
|
tracts

Meninges:
The dura mater is composed of = |
-dense connective tissue
continuous with the periosteum of the skull. |
|

|
The dura mater that envelops the spinal cord is separated from the periosteum of the vertebrae by the
|
epidural space,
which contains = |
thin-walled veins, loose connective tissue, and adipose tissue

|
Arachnoid
The arachnoid has two components: |
a layer in contact with the dura mater
a system of trabeculae connecting the layer with the pia mater. |
|
|
|
Pia mater
The pia mater is = |
tissue containing many blood vessels.
a thin layer of neuroglial processes, adhering firmly to the pia mater and forming a physical barrier at the periphery of the central nervous system. |
