filium terminale
meningeal branch
The cranial and spinal cavities protect the brain and spinal cord.
yes. true
Contemporary craniosacral therapists practice manipulation not only of the skull, but of the meningeal membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord, and sometimes of the facial bones.
The spinal cord terminates inferiorly as the medullary cone at approximately vertebra L1 and is attached to the coccyx by a continuation of the pia mater. This is known as the terminal filum.
There are meningeal fluids that flow through the brain, and there is a complex webbing of blood vessels known as the blood-brain barrier. The fluids help cushion the brain.
The foramen magnum transmits the spinal cord, accessory nerves, vertebral arteries, and the anterior and posterior spinal arteries. The superior orbital fissure transmits oculomotor, trochlear, ophthalmic division of trigeminal, abducens, and ophthalmic veins. The optic foramen transmits the optic nerve and ophthalmic artery. And the jugular foramen transmits the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory nerves, the internal jugular vein, and the sigmoid sinus.
peripheral nervous system
Not much information here in context to efficiently answer the question but I will try. The spinal cord generally ends (terminates) around the L1 vertebral level in the lumbar spinal column give or take a level or so in normal humans. After this, small spinal nerves continue down in a sac and exit the lumbar and sacral spine to innervate the pelvis and lower extremities.
It's called 'cerebro-spinal fluid', and it's found around the cerebrum and spine.
The pia mater is the meningeal layer that is just superficial to the brain. It is a thin and delicate membrane that closely covers the surface of the brain and spinal cord, providing protection and support to these structures.
Peripheral: Beyond (in this case, beyond the brain and the spinal cord.) Neuro-: Related to the nerves -pathy: Disease Put these concepts together and this is what peripheral neuropathy means: It refers to the conditions that result when nerves that connect to the brain and spinal cord from the rest of the body are damaged or diseased.
