Spinal meninges are protective layers that cover the central nervous system, spinal roots and the spinal cord. Since these part of the body is the most complex because they control locomotor movements and affect our way of thinking, this must be protected.
The three types of spinal meninges are: dura mater, arachnoid meter and the pia mater. The outermost or the most superficial layer is the dura meter. It is composed of high collagen and fiber. Next to this is the arachnoid followed by the pia mater which is the layer closest to the spinal cord.
