The delicate pia mater closely adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord and even follows the sulci and fissures. The dura mater (meaning literally "hard mother") is composed of two layers, with the venous sinuses formed between them. The outermost layer forms the periosteum (endosteal layer) of the skull. The inner dura (meningeal layer) provides rigid membranes that support and separate various brain structures. The arachnoid mater is a spongy, weblike structure just underneath the dura mater that loosely follows the contours of the cerebral structures. The inner dura (meningeal layer) provides rigid membranes that support and separate various brain structures.
