The tough, fibrous membrane, which lines the cavity of the skull and spinal column, and surrounds the brain and spinal cord; -- frequently abbreviated to dura.
the tough fibrous membrane lined with endothelium on the inner surface that envelops the brain and spinal cord external to the arachnoid and pia mater, contains numerous blood vessels and venous sinuses, called also dura.
The term means tough mother. It is the fibrous outermost meninges layer. It forms a tough protective layer.
outer, hard membrane covering spinal cord and brain.
covering of brain and spinal chord.
The fibrous, outer membrane covering the brain.
the outermost, toughest, and most fibrous of the three membranes (meninges) covering the brain and the spinal cord.
The outermost component of the cranial and spinal meninges.
fibrous outermost membrane that lies beneath the skull and covers the brain, and the spinal cord
The outer-most covering of the spinal cord. This is a thick connective tissue covering, and provides protection and support to the spinal cord. This is a pain-sensitive structure, which envelops the spinal roots and ganglia as they pass through the intervertebral foramina.
Latin for "hard mother," the dura mater is the most superior of the layers of the meninges; this tough, inflexible tissue forms several structures that serve to separate the cranial cavity into compartments and protect the brain from displacement, as well as forming several vein-like sinuses that carry blood back to the heart
outer membrane (meninx) covering the brain and spinal cord
is a thick tough membrane lying close to the cranium and vertebrae. It is separated from the arachnoid membrane by the subdural space. In the spinal cord the inner and outer layers of the dura mater are separated by the extradural space X Y Z
Tough outer layer of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
the outermost, toughest, and most fibrous of the three membranes (meninges) that cover the brain and spinal cord.
the outermost (and toughest) of the 3 meninges
Thickest, outermost covering of the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Also lines the inside of the skull.
The outermost tough fibrous covering of the brain and spinal cord.
The toughest, outermost menynx.
dura (hard), mater (mother who protects) Also pachymeninx.
A tough fibrous membrane which covers the brain and spinal cord, but is separated from them by a small space.
The outermost of three membranes protecting the brain and spinal cord, it is tough and leather-like. The fibrous outer sheath surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
the tough, fibrous, and outermost membrane covering the brain and spinal cord
One of the three protective membranes surrounding the brain that collectively are called the meninges.
the outermost membrane covering of the brain
the outermost layer of tissue that encases the CNS
The tough, outermost membrane surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
The tough outer membrane covering the brain and spinal cord.
'hard cover'. Outermost meninx ( Ch. 4).
The dura mater (from the Latin "tough mother"), or pachymeninx, is the tough and inflexible outermost of the three layers of the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord. (The other two meningeal layers are the pia mater and the arachnoid mater.) The dura mater is not as tightly fitting around the spinal cord, extending past the spinal cord (at the second lumbar vertebra) to about the second sacral vertebra.
