cord are wrapped
Dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater ✅These are the three layers of meninges
Dura mater ✅thick, outermost layer of the meninges surrounding and protecting the
brain and spinal cord
Arachnoid mater ✅This weblike middle layer of the three meninges
Pia mater ✅This thin, delicate inner membrane of the meninges
Choroid plexus ✅A highly vascular portion of the lining of the ventricles that secretes
cerebrospinal fluid
Subarachnoid space ✅A space in the meninges beneath the arachnoid membrane and
above the pia mater that contains the cerebrospinal fluid
20ml per hour ✅This is the amount of CSF produced by adults
Arachnoid granulations ✅Extensions of the arachnoid mater that allow excess CSF to
be absorbed by the dural sinuses.
Blood-brain barrier ✅This is a tight-fitting structure of the endothelial cells in the
choroid plexuses
Lumbar puncture ✅This is the routine procedure in collecting CSF
Between third, fourth, and fifth lumbar verterbrae ✅This is the location for routine
lumbar puncture
, Measurement of intracranial pressure, Careful technique ✅This is the precautions of

Not be discarded and frozen until further use ✅This is the clinical efficiency procedure

Refrigerated ✅This is the maintenance of CSF hematological tubes
Remain at room temperature ✅This is the maintenance of CSF Microbiology tubes

Cloudy, turbid, milky ✅This is the CSF appearance that can be the result of an
increased protein or lipid concentration, but it may also be indicative of infection
Xanthochromia ✅This is a term used to describe CSF supernatant that is pink, orange,
or yellow
RBC degradation products ✅This is the most common reason for the appearance of
