The innermost membrane covering the brain and spinal cord is called the pia mater. It is a delicate and thin layer that closely adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord, providing support and protection. The pia mater is part of the three meninges, which also include the dura mater and arachnoid mater.

What is on the outside of the spinal cord?
The outside of the spinal cord is protected by three layers of membranes called meninges: the dura mater (outermost), arachnoid mater (middle), and pia mater (innermost). Between the arachnoid and pia mater is the subarachnoid space, which contains cerebrospinal fluid that cushions the spinal cord. Additionally, the spinal cord is encased within the vertebral column, comprised of individual vertebrae that provide structural support and protection.

Where is the arachnoid layer located?
the arachnoid layer is located between the dura and pia matter in the skull and around the spinal cord. further: these three layers make up the meninges, a system of membranes that surround and help protect the CNS (central nervous system) along with the help of the cerebral spinal fluid. dura is the outermost layer and pia is the innermost layer; arachnoid falls in between these two.
What are the three membranes covering the spinal cord?
The three membranes covering the spinal cord are the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. The dura mater is the outermost, tough layer that provides protection. The arachnoid mater is the middle, web-like layer that contains cerebrospinal fluid, which cushions the spinal cord. The pia mater is the innermost, delicate layer that closely adheres to the surface of the spinal cord and contains blood vessels.
