Study Notes
Dura Mater Folds
- The falx cerebri is a large vertical fold of dura mater that separates the two cerebral hemispheres.
- The tentorium cerebelli is a horizontal fold of dura mater that separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum.
- The dura mater, the outermost layer of the meninges, forms these two important folds.
- Falx cerebri serves to prevent the two hemispheres from shifting and colliding with each other during movement.
- Tentorium cerebelli protects the cerebellum from pressure from the cerebrum and also allows for the passage of blood vessels to the brain.
