Cranial Cavity The cranial cavity, also known as intracranial space, is the space within the skull. The skull, also known as the cranium, contains the brain. Meninges are protective membranes that surround the brain to minimize damage of the brain when there is head trauma. Meningitis is the inflammation of meninges caused by bacterial or viral infections.

The spaces between meninges and the brain are filled with a clear cerebrospinal fluid, increasing the protection of the brain. Facial bones of the skull are not included in the cranial cavity. There are only eight cranial bones: The occipital, two parietal, the frontal, two temporal, the ethmoid and the sphenoid bones are fused together by the ossification of fixed fibrous sutures. The occipital bone found in the rear of the skull is thicker to limit fractures caused by blows to the back of the head.

In the event that the brain strikes the inside of the skull, there is a risk of a minor traumatic brain injury (concussion). This type of injury can alter brain function, cause memory loss, headaches an or nausea. A minor traumatic brain injury can be followed by post concussion syndrome.

Solanum ovigerum, the Easter White Eggplant or White Eggplant, is a plant of Solanaceae (Nightshade) family, related to eggplant (S. melongena). The stem and leafstalks are green, or very faintly tinged with purple, and bear a few white spines. Leaves are wavy at the edges. The flowers are lilac in colour. It is recognized by its off-white oblong fruit, also grown as an ornamental plant, for covering walls or trellises.

"This plant was discovered by Michel Félix Dunal, a French botanist who focused on pteridophytes, mycology, algae, and spermatophytes. Solanum ovigerum as described by Dunal is not the Easter eggplant; S. ovigerum resembles blue witch nightshade. Further genetic tests are being performed to distinguish the true phylogeny of this hybrid. The name eggplant is usual in North American English and Australian English. First recorded in 1763, the word "eggplant" was originally applied to white cultivars, which look very much like hen's eggs (see right image).[16][17][18] Similar names are widespread in other languages, such as the Icelandic term eggaldin or the Welsh planhigyn ŵy.

The white, egg-shaped varieties of the egg-plant's fruits are also known as Easter White Eggplants or garden eggs,[19] a term first attested in 1811.[20] The Oxford English Dictionary records that between 1797 and 1888, the name vegetable egg was also used.[21] The stem and leafstalks of the white variety are often green in colour, or a very pale purple. Stems of this variety also have a few white spines. The leaves are wavy at the edges and the flowers are lilac in colour. It is recognized by its off-white oblong fruit, also grown as an ornamental plant, for covering walls or trellises.

This white variation of the eggplant was discovered by Michel Félix Dunal, a French botanist who focused on pteridophytes, mycology, algae, and spermatophytes. Solanum ovigerum as described by Dunal is not the Easter eggplant; S. ovigerum resembles blue witch nightshade. Further genetic tests are being performed to distinguish the true phylogeny of this hybrid. "Solanum ovigerum" is an unaccepted scientific name for this variation of eggplant."
