GPT 3.5
1. Meninges: These are three layers of protective membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. They include the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.
2. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): This clear fluid fills the spaces within and around the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and support for the central nervous system.
3. Blood-brain barrier: This specialized barrier made up of endothelial cells and tight junctions helps regulate the passage of substances between the bloodstream and the brain, protecting the central nervous system from potentially harmful substances.
