$1$. The $Cranium$ (skull): $A$ bony box that provides a hard,protective covering for the brain.
$2$. $Cranial$ $Meninges$: Three layers of connective tissue membranes that surround the brain. These include the outer $Dura$ $mater$,the middle $Arachnoid$ $mater$,and the inner $Pia$ $mater$.
$3$. $Cerebrospinal$ $Fluid$ $(CSF)$: This fluid is present between the meninges and within the brain cavities (ventricles). It acts as a shock absorber and cushions the brain against mechanical impacts.
