What else can I help you with?
A man is shot in the head and the bullet stops just outside the dura mater What is the innermost layer that the bullet has penetrated?
The layers go like this: Skin, Fat, Periosteum, Bone; (Meninges Layers): Dura Mater, Anarchnoid Mater, and Pia Mater. The outermost of the 3 meninges is the Dura Mater, so if the bullet stops just outside of the most external meningeal layer, I would think the answer is that it stops after hitting the bone.
What meninges layer is closest to the bone?
The pia mater.There are 3 layers of meninges: the pia mater adheres to the brain and spinal cord; the dura mater is next to the skull, and the arachnoid mater is in-between the two.

It is a strong, crescent-shaped fold in the dura mater that extends horizontally between the occipital bone and the petrous part of the temporal bone. It provides structural support and helps compartmentalize the brain.
