    Concept Guide: Functional Neuroanatomy Unit 2: I. Gross Structure: Support and Circulation

    Uploaded by

    Alyssa Brisbin
    The document provides an overview of the gross structure and circulation of the brain and spinal cord. It discusses the roles of the bony encasement, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid in supporting and protecting the central nervous system. Specific topics covered include the layers of the meninges (pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater), the circulatory functions of the subarachnoid space and cisterns, dural reflections, and the production of cerebrospinal fluid by the choroid plexus located within the ventricles.
