Its cavity, therefore, is much longer than the spinal cord. It is attached to the bony canal at its lower end, and is held loosely bv twenty-two lateral ligaments (/. denticUlata) throughout its length. The arachnoid is a thin, semi-transparent membrane lying loosely over the cord and roots. Internally it is connected by numerous connective-tissue fila- ments with the innermost membrane, the pia mater. This latter is a thin vascular sheath applied closely to the cord and roots. The space betwee...n the dura and araehnoidis called the arachnoid cavity. It contains a very little cerebro-spinalfiuid. That between the arachnoid and pia is called the subarachnoid cavity; it con- tains a good deal of cerebro-spinal fluid. Both cavities connect with those of the brain and probably with each other. The dura has a mechanical protective function, the arachnoid a serous and the pia a vascular function. The spinal cord is movable in its canal to the extent of one- half to one inch. T?i€ Nei^e Roots.— TYie spinal nerve roots are cove^red with the pia and arachnoid.
