Three cerebrospinal membranes are distinguished: dura mater, the thick external layer of dense connective tissue, arachnoid, a sheet of connective tissue from which a system of loosely arranged trabeculae arise resulting in the formation of a spongy subaracnoid space, and pia mater, the innermost delicate connective tissue layer, which lies directly on the surface of the brain and spinal cord.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thin layer of connective tissue that entirely covers the surface of the brain and spinal cord.
