The arachnoid mater covering the brain is referred to as the arachnoidea encephali, and the portion covering the spinal cord as the arachnoidea spinalis.. The arachnoid and pia mater are sometimes considered as a single structure, the leptomeninx, or the plural version, leptomeninges. (Lepto- from the Greek root meaning thin). Similarly, the dura in this situation is called the pachymeninx.
Sweaty Hands Excessively sweaty hands are caused by the condition known as hyperhidrosis. Palmer (palm of the hand) hyperhidrosis is caused by a hyperactive sympathetic nervous system causing sweat glands in the hands to produce an excessive quantity of sweat.
Being nervous and anxious can cause this feeling in the fingers. Hyperventilation is another cause of tingling fingers. When we breathe too shallowly and donât take in enough oxygen, this causes the CO2 levels in the blood to change, which can cause a tingling sensation in the body, including the fingers.
