🧠

🧠 The dura mater, tough mother, is the most outer layer of the meninges, and inside of that layer is the . And the arachnoid is the filmy-like substance and it covers the entire surface of the brain. It doesn't invaginate with every hill and valley of the brain.
Pia, the final layer of the meninges, is too fine to be seen.

🧠 The dura is separated from the brain by a layer of fluid, and what that does is that it circles the brain and it in-cases the brain in this bag of fluid. So that, as the brain moves around, it's cushioned -- it can't bang against the skull because it's cushioned by the fluid.

🧠 In the , the dura is right up against the skull; there's no separation. They can't be separated, except if there's a bleed. And that is a very dangerous situation, that's a medical emergency.
If there's a bleed between the skull and dura. If there's some injury and blood gets in there that's a medical emergency.

🧠 In contrast to the situation in the cranium, where the dura is right up against the bone, the dura in the spinal cord is not up against the . So there's a lot of space. It's not up against the bone. And therefore, you can imagine that increasing pressure in the cranium is a much bigger deal.

🧠 If the dura is tough, the dural folds are doubly tough, because they are actually double, double folds -- folds made of two layers of dura.

🧠 There's a fold called the Falx Cerebri, and it goes between the two parts of the brain, between the two hemispheres.
Tentorium is the dural fold that goes between the cerebrum and the cerebellum.

🧠 The most important point of these folds, or one of the benefits of these folds, is that they separate problems, pressure problems, into three compartments.
