The Protective Coverings of the Brain
The brain is protected by cranial bones and cranial meninges. The cranial meninges surround the brain. They are continuous with spinal meninges, have the same basic structure, and bear the same names: the outer dura mater, middle arachnoid, and inner pia mater. An extension of dura mater is called falx cerebri separates the two hemispheres of the cerebrum.
