The changes in arachnoid granulations following the depletion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In the normal tissue, the arachnoid granulations located at the inner walls of the superior sagittal sinus and the straight sinus had bulging protrusions of various sizes, as viewed with the SEM. With TEM, the outermost cells covering the surface of the arachnoid granulations had "giant vacuoles" in the cytoplasm. With CSF hypotension, the arachnoid granulations were smaller in size and the outermost layer of cells were thinner. The vacuoles in the outer layer were not developed. In the apical region of the individual arachnoid granulations with CSF hypotension, the arachnoid cells were densely clustered under the endothelial cells. With recovery to normal CSF pressure, the arachnoid cells appeared to protrude between the endothelial cells covering the apical portion of the arachnoid granulation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008251 Macaca A genus of the subfamily CERCOPITHECINAE, family CERCOPITHECIDAE, consisting of 16 species inhabiting forests of Africa, Asia, and the islands of Borneo, Philippines, and Celebes. Ape, Barbary,Ape, Black,Ape, Celebes,Barbary Ape,Black Ape,Celebes Ape,Macaque,Apes, Barbary,Apes, Black,Apes, Celebes,Barbary Apes,Black Apes,Celebes Apes,Macacas,Macaques
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
