3
NEURONS CANNOT REPRODUCE, SO THEY NEED TO BE PROTECTED
4
CNS protective coverings: 1.Bone (cranium and vertebrae) 2.Meninges 3.Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
5
Meninges 1.DURA MATER – strong fibrous tissue; outer covering 2.ARACHNOID MEMBRANE – delicate; middle layer 3.PIA MATER – contains blood vessels; inner layer
6
SUBDURAL AND SUBARACHNOID SPACE Space between meninge layers Contains CSF
7
MENINGITIS Inflammation of the meninges (bacterial or viral)
8
CEREBROSPINAL FLUID Fluid for cushioning Found in - subarachnoid space - central canal of sp cord - ventricles of brain
9
VENTRICLES Cavities or spaces inside the brain
10
ADD** Made in the brain CSF circulates through brain and sp cord Stays at a constant pressure LUMBAR (SPINAL) TAP - done to get a sample of CSF
