Document Summary

Meninges: three connective tissue layers that surround and enfold the brain and spinal cord. They enclose venous sinuses and major blood vessels draining the brain. From external to internal: dura mater (periosteal layer and meningeal layer), arachnoid mater, pia mater. Dura mater: is a thick, double layer membrane. The two layers are fused together except where they separate to enclose blood-filled dural sinuses. The outer periosteal layer adheres to the internal surface of the cranium (skull). The inner meningeal layer is continuous at the foramen magnum with the dura of the spinal cord. The dural septa are foldings created by dura mater that extends inward to form flat partitions that subdivide the cranial cavity and limit the movement of the brain within the cranium. The falx cerebri is a vertical fold located in the median plane of the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres (separates the cerebral hemispheres).
