====== Dura mater ======
Dura mater or [[dura]], is a thick membrane that is the outermost of the three layers of the [[meninges]] that surround the [[brain]] and [[spinal cord]]. It is derived from [[mesoderm]].

The other two meningeal layers are the [[pia mater]] and the [[arachnoid mater]]. 

The dura surrounds the [[brain]] and the [[spinal cord]] and is responsible for keeping in the [[cerebrospinal fluid]].

The arterial blood supply to the dura mater is rich, complex and is derived from both the internal and external carotid systems. Endovascular management of a variety of intracranial diseases necessitates a thorough understanding of the dural arterial network
