need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Meninges are three protective membranes (dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater) that cover the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). They are made of fibrous connective tissue. Free nerve endings are not the main structure they cover. The peripheral nervous system has its own protective coverings but meninges specifically cover the central nervous system.

Answer:

fibrous connective tissue membranes covering the central nervous system
