most superficial layer of the meninges, covers the brain and spinal cord
Pia mater is the delicate innermost vascular layer of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Note that it is not spelled 'matter', as the word does not refer to physical matter, but derives from Latin for mother; the name/phrase means tender mother, in that by enclosing cerebrospinal fluid it works with the other stronger meninges to cushion the brain like a mother cradles and protects a child. The membranes are called the meninges, and from the surface of the brain outward are the pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater. The pia mater is mesh-like, allowing capillaries to pass through it to nourish the brain, and it is firmly attached to the surface of the brain.

What is meningeal layer that adheres to the surface contour of the brain?
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.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
