Solution

Cranial meninges:

  1. Meninges are the three-layered membranes that surround the brain.
  2. The membrane separates the brain and the spinal cord from the skull and vertebral column.
  3. The location where the membranes are located is referred to as cranial meninges.
  4. The three layers of meninges are dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.

Arachnoid mater:

  1. Arachnoid mater is a web-like structure.
  2. It is filled with a fluid that cushions the brain.

Thus, the middle layer of cranial meninges is the arachnoid mater.
