NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

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: -The meningeal layer of the dura mater is a durable, dense fibrous membrane that passes through the foramen magnum and is continuous with the dura mater of the spinal cord. The meningeal layer of the dura mater creates several dural folds that divide the cranial cavity into freely communicating spaces.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your dura mater is the outer, thick, strong membrane layer located directly under your skull and vertebral column. In Latin, dura mater means “hard mother.” It consists of two layers of connective tissue. One side of your dura attaches to your skull and the other adheres to your middle membrane layer (arachnoid mater).

Detailed explanation-4: -The thickest of the meninges is the dura mater. This is consistent with answer choice “e". This is not only the thickest meningeal layer, it is also the toughest and the outermost. The dura mater is actually located just beneath the bone in the human skull.
