The meninges and cerebrospinal fluid separate the brain from the skull and provide protection and cushion for the brain. The meninges are composed of three layers which surround not only the brain but the entire central nervous system. From the topmost layer closest to the skull to the bottommost layer closest to the brain, the meninges consist of the dura mater, arachnoid and pia matter. The cerebrospinal fluid fills the region between the arachnoid and pia mater and within the skull the brain, in essence, floats within this fluid.
