Meninges
The meninges are three membranes which cover and
protect the brain. The three membranes from outermost
to innermost are: Dura Mater, Arachnoid, and Pia Mater.
The Dura Mater gives the brain support as well as
protection. The Arachnoid layer provides a space where
cerebrospinal fluid can circulate. The Pia Mater
contains the blood vessels which supply the brain with
blood.
