meninges
blood vessels
CSF
neurons
neuroglia
nuclei
22. what separates the arachnoid mater, what is it filled with, and why?
separated by subdural space, serous fluid, for cushioning of brain/cord
Epidural space, CSF, for cushioning of vertebrae
occipital lobe, filled with synovial fuid, cushions cervical vertebrae
23. subarachnoid space lies innermost to cerebrum and is filed with serous fluid
true
False
none of these

30. How is the spent CSF drained from the subarachnoid space?
By osmosis
arachnoid granulations
diffusion
carrier cells
your blood
goes through the blood brain barrier
31. what is the correct order for the flow of cerebrospinal fluid?
IV foramen to 3rd ventricle, aqueduct of sylvius to 4th ventricle,circulates brain/spinal cord, spent CSF removed, returned to blood
circulates brain/spinal cord, IV foramen, aqueduct of sylvius, ventricles, CSf is removed
