What organ is refered to as the structure"subdural space"?

Question

in organology,subdural space refers to what organ?

Answer 1

It is the narrow space between the dura mater and the arachnoid membrane. Its not an organ as such...

Answer 2

The Nervous System - Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nerves












The spinal cord is the connection center for the reflexes as well as the afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) pathways for most of the body below the head and neck. The spinal cord begins at the brainstem and ends at about the second lumbar vertebra. The sensory, motor, and interneurons discussed previously are found in specific parts of the spinal cord and nearby structures. Sensory neurons have their cell bodies in the spinal (dorsal root) ganglion. Their axons travel through the dorsal root into the gray matter of the cord. Within the gray matter are interneurons with which the sensory neurons may connect. Also located in the gray matter are the motor neurons whose axons travel out of the cord through the ventral root. The white matter surrounds the gray matter. It contains the spinal tracts which ascend and descend the spinal cord. Surrounding both the spinal cord and the brain are the meninges, a three layered covering of connective tissue. The dura mater is the tough outer layer. Beneath the dura is the arachnoid which is like a spider web in consistency. The arachnoid has abundant space within and beneath it (the subarachnoid space) which contains cerebrospinal fluid, as does the space beneath the dura mater (subdural space). This cerebrospinal fluid supplies buoyancy for the spinal cord and brain to help provide shock absorption. The pia mater is a very thin layer which adheres tightly to the surface of the brain and spinal cord. It follows all contours and fissures (sulci) of the brain and cord.

Answer 3

The classic anatomical description of the subdural space is of "a potential cavity between the dura and arachnoid mater, containing a small volume of serous fluid" (1). The space runs up from the lower border of the second sacral vertebra into the cranial cavity as high as the diaphragma sellae in the floor of the third ventricle (2) but does not communicate with the subarachnoid space. It is continued onto the cranial and spinal nerves for a short distance. The space appears to be widest in the cervical region (3).

Answer 4

The brain is surrounded by three membranes.In general, these membranes are called meninges.The one surrounding immediately is called pia mater, the intermediate membrane is called arachnoid membrane. The outer one which is hard is called duramater.The dura and arachnoid maters are separated by a space called subdural space is called,which is filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
I hope this gives a perspective of what and where this space is in our body.

Answer 5

subdural space is found on the brain

subdural space - Potential space between the dura and the arachnoid that contains only a capillary layer of fluid.

Answer 6

The subdural space is found within the brain.

Answer 7

I'm gonna have to say the brain. This is a tricky question the "sub-dural space" refers to a "space" in the brain not the whole brain itself. The way I understand it, it's the space between the dura and arachnoid mater.

Answer 8

yeah it's in the brain or cavitiy...dura, subdural, arachnoid..then cerebral spinal fluid runs through it.

Answer 9

The brain
