Question

Cranial meninges include:
(A). Dura mater
(B). Arachnoid
(C). Neurotransmitters
(D). Pia mater

• A. (A), (B), and (D) only.
• B. (A) and (D) only.
• C. (A), (B), (C), and (D).
• D. (A), (C), and (D) only.

Hint:

Remember the sequence of meninges: dura mater (outermost), arachnoid (middle), and pia mater (innermost).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The cranial meninges are protective layers that surround the brain and spinal cord. These include:
- Dura mater: The tough outer layer that protects the brain.
- Arachnoid: The middle layer, which is web-like and helps in cushioning the brain.
- Pia mater: The delicate inner layer that closely adheres to the brain’s surface.
Neurotransmitters, however, are not part of the meninges; they are chemical messengers used in the nervous system for communication.
