Name the structures involved in the protection of the brain.
The following structures are involved in the protection of brain in animals:
(i) Cranium there are 8 cranial bones which form the hard protective outer covering cranium for the brain.
(ii) Meninges the brain is covered with three membranes called meninges.
(a) Pia mater, Innermost membrane very thin, delicate and vascular and invests the brain closely.
(b) Arachnoid membrane it is like spider we in structure from which it gets its name.
(c) Duramater it is outer most, thick, tough fibrous membrane adhering closely to teh inside of the skull.
(iii) Cerebrospinal fluid The cerebrospinal is present in the spaces between the meninges, i.e., arachnoid and duramater, which function as a pad, absorbing shocks.
