Layers of meninges

There are three layers of meninges which cover the brain and spinal cord.

From external to internal the layers are

Dura mater (outer layer)
Arachinoid mater(middle layer)
Pia mater(inner layer, closest to the CNS)

Meninges are the membranous covering of the brain and spinal cord which provide protection to the brain and spinal cord. Meninges encloses the blood vessels that supplies the brain and CSF which is present in between arachinoid and pia mater (sub arachinoid space) will act as a cushion and provide mechanical and immunological protection to the brain.

8- Major components of a neuron include dendrites, cell body and axons.

Dendrites are protoplasmic extensions which transmit impulses towards the cell body from another neuron.

Cell body transmits the impulse to the axon

Axon is an extension of the cell body that receive impulses from cell body and transmits the impulses to the adjacent neuron. Axon branches at the end forming axon terminals.

Dendrites receive input signals and axon transmit output signals.

"Describe the layers, the way the layers fit together, and the repetition of layers in hexagonal close packed versus cubic close packed. Make sure to answer ALL parts of the question." I have no idea what type of description they are looking for or terms I should use, I would greatly appreciate an answer!

1) What are the three layers of the heart? Briefly describe the three layers of the heart. 2) Describe the pathway of blood from the heart to the lungs (Pulmonary Circulation) and from the heart to the different bodily tissues (Systemic Circulation) and back to the heart a. You must include all the chambers of the heart (Atria and Ventricles), all the valves (ex. Tricuspid Valve, etc.), and all the necessary vessels (ex. Pulmonary Artery, Inferior Vena cava, etc.)

Please identify the cubic close-packed layers and hexagonal close-packed layers and give a brief explaination.
