Answer
Exam answer
The outermost layer of Meninges is DURA MATER.
Explanation
The three meninges from OUTSIDE INWARDS: DURA MATER (tough, outermost), ARACHNOID MATER (middle, web-like), PIA MATER (thin, innermost, in direct contact with the nervous tissue).
The names describe them and fix the order: DURA means TOUGH — appropriate for the layer lying next to the bone; PIA means TENDER or delicate — appropriate for the layer against the brain itself; ARACHNOID means spider-like, from its web-like structure.
CEREBROSPINAL FLUID lies between the ARACHNOID and the PIA mater — not beneath the dura, a distinction worth keeping straight.
Their inflammation is MENINGITIS.
