What is the name of the membrane surrounding the brain? What is the<br> function of this membrane?

Answer and explanation:

The meninges

There are actually 3 parts—dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.

The brain is soft and mushy, and without structural support it would not be able to maintain its normal shape. In fact, a brain taken out of the head and not properly suspended (e.g., in saline solution) can tear simply due to the effects of gravity. While the bone of the skull and spine provide most of the safeguarding and structural support for the central nervous system (CNS), alone it isn't quite enough to fully protect the CNS. The meninges help to anchor the CNS in place to keep, for example, the brain from moving around within the skull. They also contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as a cushion for the brain and provides a solution in which the brain is suspended, allowing it to preserve its shape.

The outermost layer of the meninges is the dura mater, which literally means "hard mother." The dura is thick and tough; one side of it attaches to the skull and the other adheres to the next meningeal layer, the arachnoid mater. The dura provides the brain and spinal cord with an extra protective layer, helps to keep the CNS from being jostled around by fastening it to the skull or vertebral column, and supplies a complex system of veinous drainage through which blood can leave the brain.

The arachnoid gets its name because it has the consistency and appearance of a spider web. It is much less substantial than the dura, and stretches like a cobweb between the dura and pia mater. By connecting the pia to the dura, the arachnoid helps to keep the brain in place in the skull. Between the arachnoid and the pia there is also an area known as the subarachnoid space, which is filled with CSF. The arachnoid serves as an additional barrier to isolate the CNS from the rest of the body, acting in a manner similar to the blood-brain barrier by keeping fluids, toxins, etc. out of the brain.

9. What is always true of a binary compound? It has a double bond. It has two elements. It has covalent bonds. It has two atoms.

juin [17]

Answer

Correct answer is :It has two elements

Explanation

A binary compound is a compound that is made up of two of the elements in the periodic table. Some examples of binary compounds are $NaCl$ and $N_2O$ . This means that a binary compound can have more than 2 atoms as in the case of hydrogen oxide. Some binary compounds are ionic as in the case of sodium chloride.This shows that they do not necessarily have to have covalent bonds. This also rules out the possibility that they may always have double bonds as ionic compounds are bound together by ionic bonds. The only thing that will always be true of binary compounds is that they will always have 2 elements.
