This image shows a moderately magnified image of the outer edge of the spinal cord. The bulk of the histological appearence is made up by white matter which is predominantly nerve fibres and myelin sheaths. This histological image clearly shows the different layering of protection around the outside of the spinal cord and how closely associated this protection is. The outer layer is the [[Meninges_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Dura_mater|dura mater]] and then continuing to move towards the spinal cord there is the [[Meninges_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Subdural_space|sub-dural space]] leading to the [[Meninges_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Arachnoid_mater|arachnoid mater]]. Inside the arachnoid space is the [[Meninges_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Subarachnoid_Space|sub-arachnoid space]] and then the [[Meninges_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Pia_Mater|pia mater]] which is closely bound to the underlying neural tissues.
