Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The tentorium cerebelli, a common landmark, is a membrane that separates the cerebellum below from the cerebral structures above. The cerebellum is not separated by the falx cerebri, the arach-noid membrane, or the temporal lobe.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The dura mater is the outer layer of the brain. The arachnoid is a spongy, web-like structure that loosely follows the contours of the cerebral structures. The pia mater adheres to the contours of the brain. The falx cerebri dips between the two cerebral hemispheres along the longitudinal fis-sure.
