Question
Between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater lies the _________blank, and between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater lies the _________blank.Multiple Choiceperiosteal dura; meningeal duradural venous sinus; subarachnoid spacesubdural space; dural venous sinussubdural space; subarachnoid space
Solution
The correct answer is "subdural space; subarachnoid space".
Here's why:
-
The dura mater is the outermost layer of the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Just beneath the dura mater is a potential space known as the subdural space.
-
The arachnoid mater is the middle layer of the meninges. Beneath the arachnoid mater is the subarachnoid space, which is filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
-
Therefore, between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater lies the subdural space, and between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater (the innermost layer of the meninges) lies the subarachnoid space.
