Meningeal Membranes

The three layers of protective tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord, including the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.

Pia Mater

The delicate innermost layer of the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Arachnoid Mater

The arachnoid mater is a delicate, web-like layer of the meninges located between the dura mater and the pia mater, surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
