Hirnhäute (Meningen)

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the brain's protective membranes, known as meninges, which include the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater. It explains their structure, function, and the spaces between them, such as the subarachnoid space filled with cerebrospinal fluid. The tutorial also covers the venous sinuses formed by the dura mater layers, which are crucial for draining blood from the brain. Additionally, it discusses the arteries that supply blood to the brain membranes, emphasizing the middle meningeal artery and the medial cerebral artery.
