Question

place the following structures in order from superficial to deep. rank the options below periosteal layer of dura mater arachnoid mater csf in the subarachnoid space integumentary system superficial cortical (compact) bone pia mater neocortex

Explanation:

The integumentary system is the most superficial body - covering system. The superficial cortical (compact) bone is next as it is part of the skeletal system beneath the skin. The meningeal layers start with the outermost periosteal layer of dura mater, followed by the arachnoid mater. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space is beneath the arachnoid mater. The pia mater is the innermost meningeal layer. The neocortex is the deepest among these as it is part of the brain tissue.

Answer:

1. Integumentary system
2. Superficial cortical (compact) bone
3. Periosteal layer of dura mater
4. Arachnoid mater
5. CSF in the subarachnoid space
6. Pia mater
7. Neocortex
