An arachnoid is an alternative term for an arachnid.
The middle element of the meninges is the arachnoid membrane

Cerebrospinal fluid is drained into venous blood in the dural sinuses through structures called arachnoid granulations (also known as arachnoid villi or pacchionian bodies). These specialized projections of the arachnoid mater penetrate through the dura mater into the superior sagittal sinus and other dural sinuses, where they allow for the reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid into the bloodstream.
The function that reabsorbs cerebral spinal fluid back into the blood is called arachnoid villi or arachnoid granulations. These structures are responsible for draining CSF from the subarachnoid space into the bloodstream, helping to maintain the fluid balance in the brain.
Arachnoid cysts can be classified according to their location and by the type of tissue making up the cyst wall (arachnoid connective tissue or glioependymal tissue).
Infants are most susceptible to developing arachnoid cysts, although cyst formation can occur up through adolescence. Arachnoid cyst development in adults occurs much less frequently. Arachnoid cysts occur predominantly in males.
Arachnoid granulations (or arachnoid villi) are small protrusions of the arachnoid (the thin second layer covering the brain) through the dura (the thick outer layer).
middle layer of meninges is called arachnoid
Most of the fluid is absorbed back into the bloodstream through vessels lining branched projections from the arachnoid membrane called arachnoid villi, or granulations. These arachnoid granulations extend into the dura
The dural venous sinus that contains arachnoid granulations is superior saggital sinus.
Cerebrospinal fluid is reabsorbed into the bloodstream through structures called arachnoid granulations, located in the membranes surrounding the brain. These granulations allow for the transfer of CSF from the subarachnoid space into the venous sinuses of the brain.
