what is the outermost layer of the meninges that surrounds the spinal cord called?
answers: a - e
a arachnoid mater
b pia matter
c dura mater
d gray matter
e white matter

Explanation:

The meninges have three layers. The dura mater is the tough, outermost layer. The arachnoid mater is the middle layer, and the pia mater is the innermost layer. Gray and white matter are parts of the spinal cord itself, not meninges layers. So the outermost layer of the meninges surrounding the spinal cord is the dura mater.

Answer:

C. Dura mater
