Meninges Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) & Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) Prof. Dr. Bayram Yılmaz Yeditepe University Faculty of Medicine Department of Physiology

Protection of the Brain The brain is protected by bone, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid Harmful substances are shielded from the brain by the blood-brain barrier

Protecting the Brain Hair, skin, cranium Venous sinus blood Meninges Dura mater Arachnoid membrane Pia mater Cerebrospinal fluid

Meninges Dura mater, arachnoid mater and pia mater Functions of the meninges Cover and protect the CNS Protect blood vessels and enclose venous sinuses Contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Form partitions within the skull

Meninges

Dura Mater Leathery, strong meninx composed of two fibrous connective tissue layers The two layers separate in certain areas and form dural sinuses

Dura Mater Three dural septa extend inward and limit excessive movement of the brain Falx cerebri – fold that dips into the longitudinal fissure Falx cerebelli – runs along the vermis of the cerebellum Tentorium cerebelli – horizontal dural fold extends into the transverse fissure

Dura Mater

Arachnoid Mater The middle meninx, which forms a loose brain covering It is separated from the dura mater by the subdural space Beneath the arachnoid is a wide subarachnoid space filled with CSF and large blood vessels Arachnoid villi protrude superiorly and permit CSF to be absorbed into venous blood

Arachnoid Mater

Pia Mater Deep meninx composed of delicate connective tissue that clings tightly to the brain

Spinal Cord and Meninges 1) dura mater (yellow) 2) arachnoid mater (green) 3) pia mater (red) 4) subarachnoid space (CSF fills this space)

Ventricles of the Brain Arise from expansion of the lumen of the neural tube The ventricles are: The paired C-shaped lateral ventricles The third ventricle found in the diencephalon The fourth ventricle found in the hindbrain dorsal to the pons

Ventricles of the Brain

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Watery solution similar in composition to blood plasma Contains less protein and different ion concentrations than plasma Forms a liquid cushion that gives buoyancy to the CNS organs Prevents the brain from crushing under its own weight Protects the CNS from blows and other trauma Nourishes the brain and carries chemical signals throughout it

Plasma and CSF Fluid Composition

Choroid Plexuses Clusters of capillaries that form tissue fluid filters, which hang from the roof of each ventricle Have ion pumps that allow them to alter ion concentrations of the CSF Help cleanse CSF by removing wastes

Choroid Plexuses Normal volume is about 150 ml Forms and drains at a constant rate Drains into dural sinuses through the arachnoid villi

Cerebro Spinal Fluid (CSF) Site of production : Choroid plexus Appearance : Colorless, clear Density : About 1006 Total volume : 120-150 ml Production per Day : 500-800 ml Site of absorption : Arachnoid villi Daily absorption rate : 500-800 ml

CSF Production and Drainage

Lumbar Puncture for CSF sampling Lumbar puncture (LP) is the insertion of a needle into the subarachnoid space Although the subarachnoid space can be accessed from other levels, the lumbar region is most often used as it allows the needle to be inserted below the end of the spinal cord.

Blood-Brain Barrier: Functions Selective barrier that allows nutrients to pass freely Is ineffective against substances that can diffuse through plasma membranes Absent in some areas (vomiting center and the hypothalamus), allowing these areas to monitor the chemical composition of the blood Stress increases the ability of chemicals to pass through the blood-brain barrier

Blood Brain Barrier Extensive capillaries & sinuses Tight junctions: limit permeability Astrocyte foot processes: secrete paracrines Protects brain: hormones & circulating chemicals Many glucose transporters

Blood Brain Barrier 1) Continuous endothelium of capillary walls 2) Thick basal lamina 3) Extentions of astrocytes Includes the least permeable capillaries of the body Excludes many potentially harmful substances Useless against some substances Lipid soluble molecules Respiratory gases Alcohol Nicotine Anesthesia

Blood-Brain Barrier Protective mechanism that helps maintain a stable environment for the brain Bloodborne substances are separated from neurons by: Continuous endothelium of capillary walls Relatively thick basal lamina Bulbous feet of astrocytes

Hydrocephalus Hydrocephalus: excessive fluid accumulation in the brain
