Answer:

The axial skeleton is the central line of the body like skull, ribs, sternum whereas the appendicular skeleton comprises the rest of bones like limbs and appendages.

Explanation:

The skeleton system can be divided into two major divisions - Axial and appendicular skeleton. Axial skeletons form the central part, or the bones lying midline of the body. These bones are ribs, skull, spine and the sternum. These bones are protected vital organs of the body.

The rest of bones other than axial skeleton are part of the appendicular skeleton. These bones have mainly limb and appendages. These bones provide support to the body.

Thus, the major differences are mentioned above.

Romashka [77]

The pia mater is the only meninges to continue into a brain sulcus after the brain surface.

What are meninges?

The skull and spinal cord are encased in three tiers of membranes called meninges. These are:

  1. The pia mater is the fragile inner layer.
  2. The arachnoid, a fluid-filled web-like structure that forms the brain's intermediate layer, is what gives the brain its cushioning effect.
  3. The dura mater is the name of the hard outer layer.

The term for the three gaps between the meninges-

  • The gaps between the layers of the meninges are known as meningeal spaces.
  • Epidural, subdural, and subarachnoid are the three clinically important meningeal compartments.

The function of meninges:

  1. It acts as a shock absorber, the CNS (central nervous system) will shield our brain from trauma harm, such as a knock to the head.
  2. They secure our central nervous system and prevent our brain from shifting inside our skull.

Therefore the correct solution is an option (A),i.e., pia mater.

The complete question is:

The only one of the meninges that follows the brain surface into a cerebral sulcus is the

a. pia mater.

b. alma mater.

c. dura mater.

d. arachnoid mater.
