Question

______ layer is in close contact of CNS in human being.

• A. Cranium
• B. Dura mater
• C. Arachnoid mater
• D. Pia mater

Hint:

The meninges protect the CNS, with the pia mater adhering closely to its surface, following its contours.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: The central nervous system (CNS) is covered by three meninges: dura mater (outermost), arachnoid mater (middle), and pia mater (innermost). The pia mater is in direct contact with the brain and spinal cord. Step 2: The cranium is the skull, not a meningeal layer, while dura and arachnoid mater are farther from the CNS surface.
