1Name the membrane that covers the frontal lobe and the three layers comprising themThe meninges are the three layers that envelop the brain and spinal cord. The meninges are the Pia, arachnoid and dura mater
2Name the liquid between 2 of these membrane layers.Cerebrospinal fluid fills the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid mater and pia mater.
3How does Cerebrospinal fluid differ from serumCerebrospinal fluid contains a lot less protein near to 1%

2.Active zone
3.Synaptic vesicles
4.Presynaptic cell
5.Postsynaptic cell
24Which of the 2 synapses arrowed is excitatory and which inhibitory and why?A is excitory and B inhibitory because A is an asymmetric synapse with a post synaptic density
