Lyrics
Meninges The brain and
Spinal covering assembly
Protective like three mothers
From things unfriendly
Keep diseases out and your nervous in
Matter literally means mother in Latin
Nothing gets in your brain
Unsafe or ineffective
Nothing gets in your brain
Cause your mater’s so protective
Nothing gets in your spine
That could hurt it or upset it
Nothing gets in your spine
Except a spinal anesthetic
Meninges like three mother
With three personalities
Protect your brain and spine
From problems preventing tragedies
Important pieces of your Neuro-psycho Anatomy
Safeguarding you from harm
Like moms do in a family
Tough mater outside
Probably further from your mind
But it keeps everything tethered
Together and in line
Thats the Dura Mater
Probably Dura because it’s durable
Also known as the Pachymeninx
Keep things incommutable
Next Mater in layers around your CNS
Is Arachnoid Mater shaped
Like a spider’s web
Arachnoidea spinalis and Encephalic
Arachnoid Maters around the brain
And spine respectively
Tertiary is the Pia Mater
That means the tender mother
Thinnes and closest to the brain
Of the Meninges covers
Compromised of tissue fibrous
Hugs the brain the tightest
If Irritated then you probably
Gon get meningitis
Meninges, like a fridge preserving kimchi
So nothing goes down it
Like Santa does in the chimny
Take it from Dex and Prof. Crowther
Be kind to all your Mater’s
Cause they protect your spine
And medulla oblongatas
Meninges the brain
And spinal covering assembly
Protective like three mothers
From things unfriendly
Keep disease out and neurons in
Mater literally means mother in latin
Nothing gets in your brain
Unsafe or ineffective
Nothing gets in your brain
Cause your mater’s so protective
Nothing gets in your spine
That could hurt it or upset it
Nothing gets in your spine
Except a spinal anesthetic
Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater, Pia Mater
(Tough Mother outside, Spider Mother beneath,
Tender Mother iside)
Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater, Pia Mater
(Tough Mother outside, Spider Mother beneath,
Tender Mother iside)
(Grey and white matter in sheath)
Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater, Pia Mater
(They are Meninges)
Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater, Pia Mater
Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater, Pia Mater
(They’re Meninges)
