The meninges (singular meninx from the Greek μῆνιγξ, "membrane"[1]) is the system of membranes which envelopes the central nervous system. In mammals, the meninges consist of three layers: the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. The primary function of the meninges and of the cerebrospinal fluid is to protect the central nervous system.

There are two parts in the peripheral nervous system:
- The somatic NS: connects the sensory organs with the central nervous system and this in turn with the skeletal muscles. It controls the voluntary actions.
- The autonomic(or involuntary) NS: responsible for controlling involuntary body functions.
The parasympathetic system returns the body functions to normal after
they have been altered by sympathetic stimulation. In times of danger,
the sympathetic system prepares the body for violent activity. The
parasympathetic system reverses these changes when the danger is over.
