Nerve cell( neurons) and neuroglial cells (associational cells)
|

|
a nerve cell consists of 3 parts cell body (perikaryon, or soma) dendrites, and axon
|

|
|
What does cytoplasm consist of>
|
Cytoplasm consists of protein molecules and an aqueous substance and is enclosed within the cell membrane
|
|

Dura mater is attached to the calvaria and divided into two layers
|
1.the periosteal layer (periosteum)the outer layer
2. The meningeal layer- the inner layer |
|
|
The meninges consist of 3 concentric fibrous tissue membranes that encase the CNS
|
1. Dura mater
2. Arachnoid Membrane 3. Pia mater |
|
|
Describe the dura mater
|
The dura mater, the gray outermost layer consists of dense, fibrous connective tissue and provides maximum meningeal protection to the CNS. The dura is attached to the inner surface of the skull and overlies the underlying arachnoid.
|
|
|
Falx cerebri
|
extends longitudinally in the interhemispheric fissure between the two hemispheres. Anteriorly is attached to Christa Galli of the ethnoid bone and posteriorly it extends.
