Document Summary
Grey matter is found around the outer superficial region in the cerebrum, known as cerebral cortex. It covers the surface of the cerebrum: white matter gets color from the myelin on the abundant myelinated axons. lies deep to the grey matter in the cortex. Within the white matter there can be found clusters of gray matter known as cerebral nuclei: cerebral cortex: external sheets of gray matter cover surface of cerebrum, cerebral nuclei: internal clusters of gray matter in nuclei. Describe the three cranial meningeal layers: connective tissue layers that separate and support soft tissue of the brain from bones and provide protection, as well as contain and circulate csf, pia mater: most deep. Thin layer of delicate areolar connective tissue , tightly adheres to the brain and follows every contour of the brain surface: archnoid mater: external to pia, resembles a spider web.
