Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The meninges are part of the nervous system, serving to enclose and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Note: The meninges are not a single organ or body structure, but rather a collection of three layers of protective tissue (the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater) that surround the brain and spinal cord. Thus, it is more accurate to say that the meninges are part of the nervous system as a whole, rather than being a specific organ or body structure within the system.
