Leptomeningeal collaterals lie within the leptomeninges, the two deep layers of the meninges called the pia mater and the arachnoid mater. [4] Their diameter has been measured at approximately 300 micrometers, [ 5 ] but there is variability between individuals in the size, quantity and location of these vessels, and between either hemisphere ...
Pia mater (/ ˈ p aɪ. ə ˈ m eɪ t ər / or / ˈ p iː ə ˈ m ɑː t ər /), [1] often referred to as simply the pia, is the delicate innermost layer of the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Pia mater is medieval Latin meaning "tender mother". [1] The other two meningeal membranes are the dura mater and the ...
The outermost layer of the meninges, the dura mater, is closely associated with the arachnoid mater which in turn is loosely connected to the innermost layer, the pia mater. The meninges divide the spinal canal into the epidural space and the subarachnoid space. The pia mater is closely attached to the spinal cord.
In anatomy, the meninges (/ m ə ˈ n ɪ n dʒ iː z /; [1] [2] sg. meninx / ˈ m iː n ɪ ŋ k s, ˈ m ɛ n ɪ ŋ k s /; [3] from Ancient Greek μῆνιγξ (mêninx) 'membrane') [4] are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord. In mammals, the meninges are the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater.

The subarachnoid cisterns are spaces formed by openings in the subarachnoid space, an anatomic space in the meninges of the brain. [1] The space is situated between the two meninges, the arachnoid mater and the pia mater. These cisterns are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). [1]

Above the subarachnoid space, collagen fibers from the trabeculae are attached to the arachnoid mater, reinforcing it with collagen to withstand fairly strong forces. Below the subarachnoid space, trabecular collagen passes through the pia mater and sub-pial space, and is attached to the basement membrane , beneath which it embeds itself in a ...
