Introduction:
Meninges is the protective layer that envelops the brain and spinal cord. It is a three-layered structure. The layers of meninges include an outer layer, a middle layer. Another innermost layer is also present. Subarachnoid space implies the area below the arachnoid region.
Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (b) Pia mater.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (b) Pia mater. Te deep or the inner layer of the meninges is the pia mater. The subarachnoid space lies between the arachnoid region and the pia mater.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) Arachnoid mater. It is one of the three layers of the meninges. It is not the deepest or innermost layer and it lies above the subarachnoid space. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (c) Dura mater. It is the first and the outermost layer of the meninges. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) It is the region that lies below the dura mater. It is not the inner layer of the meninges. Hence, this is an incorrect answer.

Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. He is very anxious and is transported to the hospital. Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is a family history of CVA(Cerebrovascular Accident) and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiography indicated a narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Explain the predisposing factors in this case, and relate Mr. Q’s initial signs to the pathological changes.
