1. Spinal dura mater • Superiorly: continuous with cerebral dura mater at foramen magnum • Inferiorly: it become thinner at the level of the 2nd sacral vertebra and enwrap the filum terminale ① and ended in the coccyx • Laterally: forms the external memberanes of the spinal nerves ② I.

• A delicate, transparent, avascular membrane • continuous with cerebral arachnoid at foramen magnum • Subarachnoid space:between arachnoid & pia mater 2. Arachnoid Arachnoid Dura mater

3. Spinal pia mater • lies on the surface of spinal cord & inserted into sulcus & fissure • Inferiorly: is continous with terminal filum ① → coccyx • Laterally: is relatively thick to form the denticulate ligament ② and anchors the spinal cord laterally to the arachnoid & dura maters. ② ① Coccyx Spianl cord Arachnoid Dura mater
