Answer:

C

Explanation:

The meninges are the membranous tissues that cover the spinal cord and the brain, providing support and protection to these organs. They are of three layers.

A) The Dura mater

B) The arachnoid mater

C) The pia mater

The Dura is the outermost meningeal layer and lies directly under the vertebral column bones and skull. The subdural space is the space between the Dura mater and the Arachnoid mater.

The Arachnoid mater lies in the middle of the Dura and Pia mater. Under the Arachnoid layer is the subarachnoid space which contains the cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid acts as a shock absorber and a cushion to the brain and spinal cord.

The Pia mater lies under the subarachnoid space and directly on the spinal cord and brain and is highly vascularised.

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option C

Explanation: The dura mater, arachnoid mater and the pia mater are all known as the meninges.

The meninges are membranous covering of the brain and the spinal cord,they support,protect and provide metabolic needed to the central nervous system.

The dura mater is the outermost fibrous covering of the brain and the spinal cord,the middle covering is known as the arachnoid mater and it sits directly beneath the dura mater.

The innermost layer/covering is known as the pia mater,it sits/directly covers the brain and the spinal cord.between the pia mater and the arachnoid mater is a potential space known as the subarachnoid space,it contains interstitial fluid and cerebrospinal fluid which protects the brain,supplies the nervous system tissues with nutrients and helps in the removal of waste products from cerebral metabolism.

The subdural space is the space between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater and it only exist in pathological conditions.

The most distinctive characteristic of leaf mesophyll cells is that they are filled with
Katyanochek1 [597]
<h2>Mesophyll cells</h2>

Explanation:

The most distinctive characteristic of leaf mesophyll cells is that they are filled with many chloroplasts

Mesophyll cells constitute the main body of a leaf, occurring between upper and lower epidermis

Typically, the leaves of temperate-zone plants have two layers of mesophyll cells, the palisade mesophyll on the upper side and the spongy mesophyll on the lower side

The palisade mesophyll is a layer of densely packed, columnar cells which contain many chloroplasts, this layer is responsible for most of the photosynthesis of leaves

The spongy mesophyll is composed of large, often odd-shaped, photosynthetic cells separated from one another by large, intercellular spaces, these intercellular spaces apparently facilitate the exchange of photosynthetic gases

Describe the two different notations used to specify isotopes and give an example of each.
Georgia [21]
There are two ways that can be used to name isotopes of an element. This is best illustrated by examples. We'll use the element chlorine for simplicity.

The first example is the more common one. The formula for this notation is E-m where E is the name of the element and m is the mass number. 
(1) Chlorine-35
(2) Chlorine-37
(3) Chlorine 38

Another is less commonly used. The formula for this notation is m^ a L where m is the mass number, a is the atomic number and L is the first letter of the element.
(1) 35^ 35 Cl
(2) 37^ 35 Cl
(3) 38^ 35 Cl
