How would the membranes surrounding the brain differ in structure from the brain tissue itself?

The membranes surrounding the brain, called meninges, are protective layers that consist of three layers: the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. These layers are tough and fibrous, designed to protect the delicate brain tissue beneath. In contrast, brain tissue is primarily composed of neurons and glial cells, responsible for processing and transmitting information throughout the body. The brain tissue has a complex structure that allows for its high functionality.
