Formation And Physiology Flashcards
Fine structure that covers the brain and spinal cord Lines the brain and spinal cord
Meninges
Outermost layer of meninges
Dura Mater
Directly in contact to the skull bones
Dura Mater
Web-like structure
Arachnoid
Space where CSF can flow
Subarachnoid space
Inner most layer of meninges
Pia mater
Direct in contact to the brain
Pia mater
Capillary networks that form the CSF
Major contribution of CSF production
Choroid plexus
Separates blood tissue and brain tissue
Blood Brain Barrier (BBB)
Separates blood tissue and CSF
Blood CSF Barrier (BCB)
Functional barrier where it is produced directly
form choroid plexus
Blood CSF Barrier (BCB)
Choroid plexus produces
20 mL/hr of fluid
epithelial cell-like that help produce enough CSF that can be found in the middle of the brain
Ependymal cells
