Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So our central nervous system is protective of various structures. Identify which of the following is not one of them. As answer choice. A we have this skull B, the meninges C, celebra, spinal fluid, the plea e the blood brain barrier. But as it turns out, answer choice is ABC and E skull meninges or re spinal fluid and the blood brain barrier. These are all going to be structures that are going to help us protect the central nervous system from impacts and just the introduction of certain outside substances and that leaves us with the plea. But as it turns out, the PLU is going to be this serious membrane that falls back on itself to form a two layer membranous plural. Now the outer layer attaches to the chest and covers and the inner layer covers along. So this is going to be located in the torso. It is not going to be protecting the central nervous system. And therefore, we're going to be highlighting answer choice DP as the final answer to this question, I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
