APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your cerebral cortex, also called gray matter, is your brain’s outermost layer of nerve cell tissue. It has a wrinkled appearance from its many folds and grooves.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cerebral cortex is made up of gray matter (comprises cell bodies and dendrites) that covers the internal white matter. Cerebrum is made up of both gray and white matter and comprises both cell bodies and nerve fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Three layers of membranes known as meninges protect the brain and spinal cord. The delicate inner layer is the pia mater. The middle layer is the arachnoid, a web-like structure filled with fluid that cushions the brain. The tough outer layer is called the dura mater.

Detailed explanation-4: -The elevated ridges of tissue on the surface of the cerebral cortex are known as gyri while the shallow grooves are termed sulci.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are 3 layers of tissue called meninges that help protect the brain. The outer covering of tissue (called the dura mater), closely lines the inside of the skull. The second layer is the arachnoid mater, and the third layer, the pia mater, hugs the surface of the brain.
