Identify the Spinal Meninges and Associated Meningeal Spaces

Cerebrospinal Fluid

CSF stands for --

Denticulate Ligaments

On the lateral side of the cord between the ventral rootlets and the dorsal rootlets, thickened extensions of the pia mater, called --, traverse the subarachnoid space, perforate the arachnoid mater, and ultimately attach to the dura mater.

Epidural Space

The -- around the spinal cord is a real space between the bone of the vertebral column and the dura mater.

Subdural Space

The -- is a potential space between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater.

Subarachnoid space

The -- is a real space between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater that contains CSF.

Pia Mater

The -- is a thin vascularized connective tissue layer that is tightly adhered to the surface of the spinal cord and brain.

Arachnoid Mater

The -- is deep to the dura mater and is attached to the dura mater's surface that faces the spinal cord.

Dura Mater

The -- is the thickest and most superficial meninx.
