Where are Dural venous sinuses found?
Dural venous sinuses are formed in areas where the two layers of the dura mater separate, forming spaces
Is the dura mater composed of dense irregular connective tissue?
Dura mater is composed of dense irregular connective tissue.
Which of the three meningeal layers forms the dural venous sinuses?
The innermost membrane, the pia mater, consists mainly of small blood vessels and is the most vascular of the three meninges.
The dural sinuses are located in the?
dural folds
What is the tough outermost layer of meninges called?
The dura mater which is Latin for "tough mother" and would also make a kickin' name for a sports team.
What is the third innermost layer of the meninges called?
The outer layer of the meninges is called as Dura matter. It has got the outer or parietal layer. The inner one is called as visceral layer. This layer is very tough in nature.

The gaps between the two gives you the various venous sinuses in the meninges.

The pia mater is the meninx that is?
In conjunction with the other meningeal membranes, pia mater functions to cover and protect the central nervous system (CNS), to protect the blood vessels and enclose the venous sinuses near the CNS, to contain the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and to form partitions with the skull. Additionally, it produces some CSF and helps circulation of it. It has been found to have a role as being the brain's "lymphatic system". It helps produce the Blood brain barrier. And pia mater has a huge role in spinal chord deformation under compression.
