Question

Outer covering of brain is called as

• A. Pleura
• B. Menningers
• C. Peritoneum
• D. Perimetrium

Answer 1

The correct option is B Menningers

Pleura is a double layer serous membrane that encloses each lung. The visceral pleura adheres to the lung surface while parietal pleura lines thoracic cavity.

Layers of protective membranes that surround brain and spinal cord are collectively referred to as meninges. It consists of outer tough white fibrous dura mater, middle arachnoid of weblike connective tissue and the deepest pia mater.

The serous membrane that encloses abdominal wall and abdominal organs is known as peritoneum. The parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal wall while visceral peritoneum covers the organ.

Perimetrium is the serous lining of uterus and is derived from embryonic visceral peritoneum.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
