Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The meninges that surround the cerebellum come from the cephalic mesoderm. They are essential for the cerebellum to develop normally. They induce and maintain the basal lamina and glia limitans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tentorium cerebelli is a crescent-shaped fold of the dura mater and forms a roof over the posterior cranial fossa. It shields the superior surface of the cerebellum and supports the occipital lobes of the cerebral hemispheres.
