Meninges of the Brain A mnemonic PAD from deep to superficial the layers of the meninges are pia, arachnoid, dura (they pad the brain)

Human Meninges (Outer Periosteum) Superior Sagittal Sinuses Pia Mater S k u l l Dura Mater Inner layer of Dura Mater External layer of Dura Mater (Inner Periosteum)


Dural Sinuses Superior sagittal sinus Arachnoid villus Periosteal layer Meningeal layer

Superior Sagittal Sinus
