The brain is surrounded by a fluid and protective membranes that separates the skull from the brain and it is called the meninge. The purpose of the meninges is to Protecting the brain and spinal cord from mechanical injury, Providing blood supply to the skull and to the hemispheres, Providing a space for the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (interactive biology). The meninges is a protective tissue but it also has 3 layers. It has the dura mater, the pia mater, and the arachnoid mater, the meninges is what protects the brain from hitting your skull, if you would not have a meninges the littlest bumps you would get to the head you would get a concussion. After you are cleared from a concussion you can still feel some of the symptoms for 4-6 more weeks. Adults and children both have similar symptoms when they get a concussion but they will both treat it differently.

data, past experiences, and Wernicke’s speech area are controlled and located in the temporal lobe. Wernicke’s speech area deals with language comprehension. Interpretation of spatial information is done by the parietal lobe, which also contains the sensory cortex. The occipital lobe processes what the person sees. The thalamus is the relay center for the cerebral cortex. Regulation of the ANS and the endocrine system is done by the hypothalamus. The limbic system deals with emotion. The…
(see Fig.6) (Pearce, 2006). 1.2.2 Meninges The spinal cord is protected by three connective tissue layers, termed meninges (see Fig.7). The dura mater is the outermost of these layers and is separated from the bones of the vertebral column by an extradural space. As the roots of the spinal nerves pass laterally through the intervertebral foramina, they are covered by a sleeve of the dura mater that becomes the outer covering of the nerve (epineurium). The arachnoid mater is the next tissue…
membrane's permeability to sodium affect the perception of pain? How to they affect nerve impulses? When are these types of drugs typically used? It prevents impulses from passing through the affected regions, & when it reaches the brain, it doesn't inform it of sensations of touch and pain usually used during surgeries 21. How does caffeine stimulate the activity of the nervous system? Stimulant; increases alertness, reduces fine motor coordination 22. How do amphetamines stimulate the…
What does the term neroglia mean? What are the 4 types of neuroglia cells in the CNS? Discuss this in detail. Neuroglia is a group of cells, in the nervous tissue that supports neurons that keeps the nervous system functioning and together. The 4 types of neuroglis cells of the CNS: (1.) Astrocytes are cells that support and structure cells that is a barrier for the brain through blood. (2.) Microglial cells are cells that remove dirt and attack microbes. (3.) Ependymal cells are cells that…
Meningitis is an infection involving the pia mater, arachnoid, and subarachnoid space, as well as the cerebrospinal fluid of the brain and spinal cord. The pia matter is the innermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord, followed by the arachnoid membrane, which is separated from the pia matter by the subarachnoid space. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless fluid found in the brain and spine. It is produced in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain and acts as a…
the neurons for the 12 pairs of thoracic spinal nerves. The lumbar part contains the neurons for the 5 pairs of lumbar spinal nerves. The sacral part contains neurons for the 5 pairs of sacral spinal nerves. The coccygeal part is the most inferior tip of the spinal cord. It contains one pair of coccygeal spinal nerves. The spinal cord is protected and compressed by spinal cord meninges which are continuous with the cranial meninges. The pia mater is a delicate innermost meningeal layer that…
