| Begin with the spinal cord. |
| Add the spinal dura mater. |
Is the spinal dura mater continuous with the cranial dura mater?
What is the difference between the attachment of the dura mater to the cranium and attachment of the spinal dura mater in the spinal column? |

|
The cranial dura mater has two layers with one layer (periosteal layer) attached to the bone. The spinal cord dura mater only has one layer and is not attached to the bones of the vertebral column. |
