Detailed explanation-1: -Three layers of membranes known as meninges protect the brain and spinal cord. The delicate inner layer is the pia mater. The middle layer is the arachnoid, a web-like structure filled with fluid that cushions the brain. The tough outer layer is called the dura mater .
Detailed explanation-2: -Meninges are three layers of membranes that cover and protect your brain and spinal cord (your central nervous system [CNS]). They’re known as: Dura mater: This is the outer layer, closest to your skull. Arachnoid mater: This is the middle layer. Pia mater: This is the inner layer, closest to your brain tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meninges are a three tissue membrane primarily known as coverings of the brain. More in depth studies on meningeal function and ultrastructure have recently changed the view of meninges as a merely protective membrane.
Detailed explanation-4: -The meninges are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord and separate them from the walls of their bony cases (skull and vertebral column). Based on their location, meninges are referred to as the cranial meninges which envelop the brain, and spinal meninges which envelop the spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-5: -The spinal cord and brain are encased within three layers of tissue called the meninges. The spinal meninges specifically enclose the spinal cord and stretch from the brainstem down to the filum terminale. The layers of the meninges are, from deep to superficial, the pia mater, the arachnoid mater, and the dura mater.
