Cerebral Spinal Fluid - Fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord. Produced within the ventricles of the brain and circulates through the brain and spine. Dura Mater - Outer layer of the meninges (Tough Mother) Arachnoid Mater - Spider web-like middle layer of the meninges Pia Mater - Inner most layer of the meninges (Tender Matter) Molds around the gyro and sulci. Neuron - Cells who communicate.
