Taxonomic definition

The meninges is an anatomical homogenous complex

[complexus homogeneus anatomicus

] which consists of two organs, the dura mater [pachymeninx

] that is a membrane organ [organum membrana

] and the leptomeningeal sac [saccus leptomeningeus

] that is an organ with cavity [organum cum cavitam], together with adjacent spaces.
