Question

A doctor examining the meninges. Which of the following correctly describes what the doctor is seeing?

A) White, fatty protein that surrounds nerve fibers
B) Nerve fibers that connect the spinal cord to muscle
C) Neurons and interneurons without myelin coverings
D) Connective tissue, blood vessels, and spinal fluid

Answer 1

The meninges are three layers of protective tissue called the dura mater, arachnoidmater, and pia mater that surround the neuraxis. The meninges of the brain and spinal cord are continuous, being linked through the magnum foramen. The dura mater is the most superior of the meningeal layers. i think the answer is clear now :) hope this helps
