Oct 20, 2021 · Perivascular spaces in the CNS are home to various cell types that have important roles in communicating between the periphery and the brain and spinal cord parenchyma. These fluid-filled spaces are continuous with the subarachnoid space of the meninges, allowing for fluid transfer with the meninges, and are also a major route of solute clearance from the CNS 9 – 11 .

The brain is protected by multiple structures. First, the bones of the skull enclose and house the brain. Underneath the skeletal structures, the brain is protected by membranes made by connective tissue, called meninges, that surround, support, stabilize and partition the nervous tissue (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)). In addition, the brain has a ...

May 4, 2021 · In the CNS, fibroblast-like cells are found in the meninges and perivascular Virchow-Robin space in both mice and humans. 5–7 Meninges, which cover the brain and spinal cord, are an important connective tissue derived from the neural crest and mesoderm. Neural crest-derived cells form meninges of the forebrain, while mesoderm-derived cells form meninges of the midbrain and hindbrain.

Sep 5, 2024 · Bones of the Skull. The skull is a bony structure that supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain. It is comprised of many bones, which are formed by intramembranous ossification, and joined by sutures (fibrous joints). The bones of the skull can be considered as two groups: those of the cranium (which consist of the cranial ...

The bones of the head meet at joint lines called sutures. They are a type of fibrous joint, which are immovable. The 22 bones of the skull can be divided in to two main categories: the cranium and the facial skeleton. The cranium encloses and protects the brain; whereas, the bones of the facial skeleton provides support to facial soft tissues.
