There are three layers of meninges around the brain and spinal cord (these are continuous between the two structures). The outermost layer is the Dura mater, the toughest and most protective layer. 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.

The 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.

∙ 11y agoThe meninges consist of three layers: the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. These three layers protect the brain. The word dura mater means "tough mother". Arachnoid mater means "spider mother" because it's shape is like a spider's web. Pia mater means "soft mother". Cerebral spinal fluid circulates in these spaces.

∙ 10y agoIt's the Pia mater, right? There are three meninges that cover the brain. The outermost is the dura mater (dura for durable :)), then inside it is the arachnoid mater. The innermost is the pia mater.

What is the outermost layer of the human brain?
The outermost protective covering the the brain is the dura mater, the outermost of the meningeal layers.
Where are a persons dura mater and pia mater?
Dura mater and pia mater are two different layers of connective tissue that surround the brain called meninges. Dura mater is Latin for "tough mother" and is attached to the inner surface of the skull. Pia mater is Latin for "soft mother" and lines the outer surface of the brain. Between the two is a third meningeal layer called the arachnoid mater because of its web like appearance.
What are shallow grooves that exist in the brain?
You have sulci ( singular is sulcus) and gyri ( singular is gyrus) in the surface of the brain. By this mechanism you have the surface area of the brain, vastly increased.
Which meninx is a delicate connective tissue membrane that clings tightly to the brain like cellophane wrap following its every convolution?
The dura mater or dura, is the outermost of the three layers of the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The other two meningeal layers are the pia mater and the arachnoid mater.
Convolutions of the brain provide increased what?
The convolutions increase the surface are of the cerebrum.
What is the meningeal layer that adheres to the surface contour of the brain extending into every fold and curve?
Pia Mater
What structure is highly vascular and closey adheres to the surface of the brain?
It's pia meter
What structure is covered by many blood vessels and adheres tightly to the surface of the brain?
pia matter
Which of the meninges is located next to te brain?
Yes. Hence the term "meningitis", which is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain.
Cavity that protects brain and spinal cord?
The cranial and spinal cavities protect the brain and spinal cord.
How would the membranes surrounding the brain differ in structure from the brain tissue itself?
The brain is composed of neurons and glial cells, while the membranes are composed of meningeal cells.
What is the scientific term for brain juice?
There are meningeal fluids that flow through the brain, and there is a complex webbing of blood vessels known as the blood-brain barrier. The fluids help cushion the brain.
Is meningitis in dogs contagious?
This is an inflammation of the meningeal lamina that surrounds the brain and the spine marrow. This is septic, which means "infected".
What is the outermost layer of the human brain?
The outermost protective covering the the brain is the dura mater, the outermost of the meningeal layers.
Infoldings on the surface of the brain?
in foldings on the surface of the brain
What is the outer covering of the brain is made up of what?
The outer most covering of the brain is called dura mater. It consists of two layers, the periosteal outer layer and meningeal inner layer.
Where are a persons dura mater and pia mater?
Dura mater and pia mater are two different layers of connective tissue that surround the brain called meninges. Dura mater is Latin for "tough mother" and is attached to the inner surface of the skull. Pia mater is Latin for "soft mother" and lines the outer surface of the brain.
