The middle is the arachnoid layer, and the pia mater is the innermost layer.The protective layers of the brain are the 3 meninges. From the outermost layer to the innermost layer, they are the dura mater, the arachnoid, and the pia mater.Dura mater,arachnoid mater,pia mater,skullThe protective membranes surrounding the brain are called the meninges, and from outside to in are named the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and the pia mater.meninges
A man is shot in the head and the bullet stops just outside the dura mater What is the innermost layer that the bullet has penetrated?
The layers go like this: Skin, Fat, Periosteum, Bone; (Meninges Layers): Dura Mater, Anarchnoid Mater, and Pia Mater. The outermost of the 3 meninges is the Dura Mater, so if the bullet stops just outside of the most external meningeal layer, I would think the answer is that it stops after hitting the bone.

The middle meningeal layer is called the Arachnoid Mater. Its between the outermost Dura Mater and innermost Pia Mater
