	Pia mater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pia mater (Latin: "tender mother", itself a translation from Arabic) is the delicate innermost layer of the meninges - the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
		The thin, mesh-like pia mater closely envelops the entire surface of the brain, running down into the fissures of the cortex.
		In the spinal cord the, the Pia mater attaches to the Dura mater by the denticular ligaments through the arachnoid membrane.

	The Meninges
		The meninges, (singular meninx), are three membranous envelopes—the pia mater, the arachnoid, and the dura mater—that surround the brain and spinal cord.
		The pia mater is the meningeal envelope that firmly adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord.
		Over the pia mater and separated from it by a space called the subarachnoid space is a second meningeal envelope of the central nervous system, the arachnoid, a thin membrane remarkable for its delicacy and transparency.

		The external layer of the dura mater, derived from the internal layer of cranial periosteum, is adherent to the inner surface of the skull, and continuous with the ectocranial periosteum through the foramina of the skull.
		Pia mater is a delicate layer constituting with the arachnoid the leptomeninges (slender membranes).
		The pia mater, however, adheres closely to the irregular contours of the brain and spinal cord, and the width of the subarachnoid space becomes deeper in the region of major sulci, containing more amounts of cerebrospinal fluid, forming the subarachnoid cisterns.

	Meninges Information on Healthline
		The space between the arachnoid membrane and pia mater contains many fibrous filaments and blood vessels that attach the two layers.
		The outer surface of the dura adheres to the skull, while the inner surface is loosely connected to the arachnoid layer.
		The flexibility of the dura is important in that most skull fractures, other than those involving severe penetrating injuries, will not result in loss of CSF through the injury site which, before the days of antibiotics and emergency medicine, would pose a serious risk for infection and death.

	Protection of the Central Nervous System
		Arachnoid connects to the innermost layer of the dura mater, the pia mater by allowing projections to unite to two sections of the dura mater.
		In the area between the arachnoid and pia mater exists the subarachnoid space which houses cerebrospinal fluid.
		The Pia mater lies extremely close to the brain and outlines every detail of the concave and convex brain tissue.

	Brain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This three-layered covering is made of, from the outside in, dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.
		The arachnoid and pia are physically connected and thus often considered as a single layer, the pia-arachnoid.
		The cells in the blood vessel walls are joined tightly, forming the blood-brain barrier which protects the brain from toxins that might enter through the blood.

	Stabat Mater
		Stabat Mater is the title of a 13th century Latin hymn and it means "the Mother was standing." In Latin, the hymn consists of 20 couplets which describe the Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin at the Cross.
		The message of the Stabat Mater focuses on the spiritual and emotional bond which unites Mary and all Christians to the death of her Son on the Cross.
		The Stabat Mater was introduced into the Liturgy gradually until 1727 when it was prescribed as a Sequence for Mass of the Seven Sorrows of Mary on September 15 and on Friday before Holy Week, as well as their corresponding offices.

		- The dura mater extends inward between lobes of the brains and in other areas, the dura mater splits into two layers forming channels called dural sinuses which contain venous blood from the brain on its way to the heart.
		- dura mater continues into the spinal column and is attached at regular intervals by denticulate ligaments that extends the length of the spinal cord on either side.
		- pia mater is attached to the surface of the organ and will follow the irregular patterns of the surface of the organs.

		Below the dura mater is a thin, web like tissue that acts as a second layer of protection (the arachnoid or cobwebs).
		Through these, the brain is anchored to the skull by a delicate membrane (pia mater or tender mother).
		Between the pia mater and the arachnoid is a clear, colorless liquid (cerebrospinal fluid) that surrounds the brain, serving as a last line of defense in shielding our oh so sensitive brains from shock and injury.
