Three connective tissue membrane layers that surround the brain and spinal cord. The three layers are: dura mater, arachnoid layer, pia mater. The dura mater and arachnoid layer are separated by the subdural space. The arachnoid layer and pia mater are separated by the subarachnoid space.

membrane covering the brain and spinal cord.

(meh-NIN-jeez): The three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.

The three layers of nonneural tissue that envelop the brain and spinal cord. They are the dura mater, the arachnoid, and the pia mater.

the three membranes that surround and protect the spinal cord and brain

The three layers of connective tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord.

The three protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord; specifically, the dura mater, pia mater, and arachnoid.

are the membranes separating the skull and vertebral column from the brain and spinal cord (see dura mater, arachnoid membrane and pia mater)

term referring to the protective layers covering the brain and spine; the dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater taken collectively

A group of three membranes that covers the brain and spinal cord. Closest to the brain and spinal cord is the pia, then the arachnoid, and the outermost covering is the dura.

Three membranes that surround the surfaces of the central nervous system; the dura mater, the pia mater, and the arachnoid.

a membrane (one of 3) that envelops the brain and spinal cord

membranes that encase the brain, providing protection.

The three membranes which cover the brain and protect it from the skull.

plural of Greek meninx = a membrane; adjective - meningeal.

Membranes which surround and protect the brain and spinal cord; anatomically there are 3 meninges: the pia mater, which adheres to the brain and the spinal cord, the dura mater, which adheres to the bone and the arachnoid between these two membranes.

Membranes covering the brain and the spinal cord. (Singular : menynx). See Dura Mater, Arachnoid Membrane, and Pia Mater.

The membranes which surround the brain and cord. The outer is the dura mater, the middle layer is the arrachnoid, and the innermost, lying next the brain or cord, is the pia mater.

The three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. They are known as the arachnoidea, dura mater, and pia mater.

Three membranes (dura, arachnoid and pia mater) that envelop the brain and spinal cord.

the silky linings of the skull and spinal canal which protect the brain and the spinal cord.

refers to the delicate layers of tissue that surround the brain and spinal cord

The three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. The three layers are called the arachnoid (the “spider-like” innermost layer), the pia mater (the middle layer), and the dura mater (the “tough mother” outermost layer).

the thin layers of tissue that cover the brain. The three layers are the dura mater, the arachnoid, and the pia mater.

The three membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.

Three layers or membranes that surround the brain. The condition Meningitis is caused by an infection of these meninges.

The three connective tissue membranes that line the skull and vertebral canal and enclose the brain and spinal cord.

the membranes that envelope the brain and the spinal cord.

the three laminated ultrathin membranes surrounding the brain

Any membrane; specifically, one of the membranous coverings of the brain and spinal cord.

The collective term for the three membranes that envelop the brain: the dura mater (farthest out), the arachnoid membrane (the next in) and the pia mater (closest to the brain).

Protective layers of tissue that surround the brain and the spinal cord.

coverings of the brain--dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater

any one of the three membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord (the dura mater, the pia mater and the arachnoid).

meninx - membrane]. Membranes surrounding brain and spinal cord that have a protective function.

The CNS is covered by 3 membranes called meninges: in direct contact with the CNS is the pia (mater), a thin membrane, next is the arachnoidea (=Latin "spider web"), also quite thin and rich in fine blood vessels and outermost the dura (mater), a tough, elastic membrane, attached to the skull. The spaces between these membranes are filled with fluid: cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF).

The three membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Series of 3 membranes (dura mater, arachnoid, pia mater) that cover the brain and spinal cord.

fibrous sheaths that envelop the brain and spinal cord

the three membranes (pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater) that surround the brain and spinal cord.

They are three, thin membranes that completely cover the brain and the spinal cord. Spinal fluid flows in the space between two of the membranes.

Membranes enclosing the brain and spinal cord.

Membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, consisting of the pia, arachnoid, and dura.

the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord (singular: meninx).

Membranes surrounding the brain or spinal cord. Part of the so-called blood-brain barrier. See Meningitis.

the protective outer lining of the brain

a series of three protective membranes (the dura matter, the arachnoid, and the pia) that cover the brain and the spinal cord.

The three membranes that cover the spinal cord and brain.

The meninges (singular meninx) is the system of membranes that envelop the central nervous system. The meninges consist of three layers: the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. The primary function of the meninges and of the cerebrospinal fluid is to protect the central nervous system.
