physical protection

25
_______ isolation include the blood–brain barrier.
Biochemical
26
Connective tissue layers surrounding the brain. Protect the brain from cranial trauma and are continuous with spinal meninges.
cranial meninges
27

arachnoid mater
33
space between arachnoid mater and pia mater
subarachnoid space
34
meningeal layer on brain surface, only layer entering sulci

37
large dural fold seperates cerebellum and cerebrum
tentorium cerebelli
38
large dural fold divides cerebellar hemispheres below tentorium cerebelli

apertures, external
45
CSF is reabsorbed through _______ _______ into venous sinuses
arachnoid granulations
46
we produce about _____ ml of CSF per day
