Because the pia mater immediately adheres to the surface of the brain and spinal cord, the space is greatly widened wherever the brain surface exhibits a deep depression (for example, between the cerebellum and medulla); such widenings are called cisternae. The large blood vessels supplying the brain and spinal cord lie in the subarachnoid space.

The large blood vessels supplying the brain and spinal cord lie in the subarachnoid space. subarachnoid space The space between the PIA MATER and the arachnoid mater, occasioned by the fact that the pia, the innermost layer of the meninges, closely invests the surface of the brain while the arachnoid, external to it, bridges over the grooves.
