Outer layer
°
Also called Endo steal layer .

It is really the

commonly referred to as Endocranium .

Some
features

(a , It in continuous with periosteum on outer surface of

skull .

(b . It
provides sheaths for cranial nerves
,
which
fuse with
epineurium dural sheath around the

with sclera g eyeball .

( skull cap)
cos It is
loosely attached to inner

vault and
firmly to bone .

I,
Meningeal vessels
pass through this
layer to supply bone .

Inner layer :

It is also called
°

Meningeal layer .

It in durra matter It encloses brain

foramen magnum

becomes continuous with durra mater

surrounding the spinal cord .

. It is separated from Arachnoid mater by subdural space .
