Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pia mater is the innermost layer of the meninges and closely adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord, following sulci and fissures. The dura mater is the outermost layer and is much less pliable, while the arachnoid is located between the pia and dura mater and contains a fluid-filled space called the subarachnoid space. The inner dura is not a term commonly used to refer to a specific layer of the meninges.
