The brain and the spinal cord of the central nervous system are buffered by a number of protective layers known as the meninges. These include three main membranes of connective tissue including: the dura mater‚ the arachnoid layer and the pia mater [6]. The two innermost layers‚ collectively known as the leptomeninges‚ include the pia mater and the arachnoid mater that buffer the brain and spinal cord [7]. As indicated in image III below‚ the subarachnoid space is the area located between the

To obtain a general effect‚ the drug is usually given by oral or parenteral route. The choice depends on the drug i.e. the existence of preparations appropriate for these uses and on the state of the patient. Emergency or the impossibility of intake by mouth makes the parenteral route necessary. To obtain a local effect‚ special preparations like the ophthalmic solutions‚ but it should be remembered that a systemic diffusion is always possible after local administration. Parenteral route

These layers help the skin to execute its many functions. The epidermis is made of stratified keratinised squamous epithelium which offers a waterproof defence for the skin. The epidermis has several layers within it and provides the most protection from external elements‚ and is also the site of skin cell production as the top cells are constantly rubbed off and replaced

can make the lung stop functioning as it should. Most lung cancers start in the lining of the bronchi‚ or in glands below the lining of the bronchi‚ frequently in the periphery of the lungs. When they are exposed to irritants or carcinogens‚ the epithelium continually replaces itself until the cells develop chromosomal changes and become altered in size‚ shape‚ and organization. These dysplastic cells don’t function well as protectors‚
