the richly vascularised inner tissue on the outer surface of the brain and spinal cord.
The delicate and highly vascular membrane of connective tissue lying internal to the arachnoïd and dura mater.
The tough, outer meningeal layer that surrounds the central nervous system.

is a vascular membrane that covers the surface of the CNS
pius = soft, faithful (L. pietas was one of the cardinal virtues) + mater = mother; delicate vascular membrane which adheres to surface of brain and spinal cord, faithfully following their contours.

(PE-aw MA-tehr) The innermost of the three meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
The innermost and most delicate menynx.
pia (soft), mater (mother).
the innermost layer of the meninges which covers the brain and spinal cord.
The innermost of the three meninges investing the brain and spinal cord. It is a delicate vascular connective tissue membrane that is closely adherent to the neural surface. Together with the arachnoid comprises the leptomeninges.
