This is the connective tissue covering for both the brain and the spinal cord
What is the meninges?
The arachnoid is the [BLANK] layer of the meninges
What is middle?
The pia mater is the [BLANK] layer of the meninges
What is innermost?
This matter is folded into gyri and sulci
What is grey?
These are two functions of the cerebellar cortex
What is maintaining balance/equilibrium/muscle tone/skeletal muscle coordination?
The outermost layer of the meninges, the dura mater is composed of this tissue type
What is dense, collagenous connective tissue?
These are the two layers of the arachnoid
What is the arachnoid membrane and the subarachnoid space?
The pia mater is adjacent to this tissue
What is neuronal?
These are two functions the cerebral cortex
What is learning/memory/info analysis/initiation of motor response/integration of sensory input?
The cerebellar cortex has this many layers
What is three (3)?
These are the two layers of the dura mater
What is the periosteal and meningeal layers?
The arachnoid is composed of two regions; this region contains arachnoid trabeculae
What is the subarachnoid space?
These flattened, modified cells compose the thin layer pia mater is made of
What is fibroblasts?
Gyri are the [BLANK], while sulci are the [BLANK]
What is folds/bumps, indents/grooves?
The Purkinje cell layer is the [BLANK] layer of the cerebellar cortex
What is the middle/second layer?
This is the "potential space" between the dura mater and the arachnoid
What is the subdural space?
This region is in contact with the dura mater
What is the arachnoid membrane?
This process is between the pia mater and neuronal tissue
What is neuroglial?
The cerebral cortex has six (6) layers; this layer is beneath the pia mater
What is the molecular layer?
Dendrites of Purkinje cells are found in this cortex layer
What is the molecular/first layer?
The periosteal layer is composed of [BLANK], and is attached to [BLANK]
What is osteoprogenitor cells, inner skull surface?
The arachnoid is unique compared to the other layers of the meninges in that it is [BLANK]
What is avascular?
Folds of pia mater into the ventricles of the brain
What is choroid plexus?
The cerebral cortex has six (6) layers; this is layer three (3)
What is the external pyramidal layer?
The term for cerebellar islands, which are the synapses between axons entering the cerebellum and granule cells
What is glomeruli?
