Brain Protection and Major Divisions — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThe human brain is well protected by the skull. Inside the skull, the brain is covered by cranial meninges consisting of an outer layer called dura mater, a very thin middle layer called arachnoid and an inner layer (which is in contact with the brain tissue) called pia mater. The brain can be divided into three major parts: (i) forebrain, (ii) midbrain, and (iii) hindbrain.
How do the three layers of cranial meninges protect the brain?
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: D — By cushioning and separating the brain from the skull
The dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater protect the brain from mechanical injury.
