Explore the structure and function of meninges in the human brain. This quiz assesses knowledge on meningeal septa, formation timelines, congenital issues, and layers of the cranial cavity. Essential for students in medicine and related fields.

Are formed primarily by the separation of the meningeal and periosteal dura

It is more collagenous than dura mater
It has two primary parts, the arachnoid barrier layer and the arachnoid trabeculae
The arachnoid trabeculae help suspend the brain in the subarachnoid space
The trabeculae help reduce the weight of the brain by about 97%
Rate this question:
It forms the dura mater
Around the brain it stays attaches to the periosteal connective tissue layer
It eventually becomes continuous with the vertebral periosteum in adulthood

Predisposes the patient to infection, because bacteria can easily get inside
Is a developmental defect associated with spina bifida
Is where the mesoderm fails to dissociated from neuroectoderm, leaving an epithelium lined channel to the surface of the skin
Results in recurrent meningitis
Rate this question:
Are also called septa or reflections
Consist of areas in which the periosteal portion of the dura folds inward to separate the cranial cavity into compartments
Form compartments which determine how displacements can occur with injury as an expanding lesion forces areas of the brain between compartments
Include the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli which are considered the primary folds
Includes the diaphragma sella, which is the largest septum
Rate this question:
They are mosr likely to arise from clusters of arachnoid cells in the villi (arachnoid cap cells)
Most likely to form at points where cranial nerves or blood vessels transverse the dura, along the base of the skull, and at the cribiform plate
They are typically benign, and rarely (atypical) malignant.
They frequently invade the brain tissue due to close proximity
The tumors typically become quite large before detected because they usually occur in the anterior fossa.
