Which of the following is the outer layer of the meninges?
A
Pia mater
B
Arachnoid mater
C
Epidural space
D
Dura mater
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of the meninges, which are the protective coverings of the brain and spinal cord. They consist of three layers: dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.
Identify the outermost layer of the meninges. The dura mater is the tough, outermost layer that lies directly beneath the skull and vertebral column.
Differentiate between the layers: the arachnoid mater is the middle layer, and the pia mater is the innermost layer that closely adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord.
Recognize that the epidural space is not a layer of the meninges but rather a potential space outside the dura mater, often used for administering anesthesia.
Conclude that the correct answer to the question is the dura mater, as it is the outermost layer of the meninges.
