Explanation of Solution

The sheep have different adaptations from human. Meninges are the outermost layer of the brain and spinal cord. There are three layers of meninges:

  • Dura mater: Dura mater is the thick and opaque outer layer
  • Arachnoid mater: Arachnoid mater is the weblike and semitransparent middle layer spanning the fissures of the brain.
  • Pia mater: Pia mater is the thin, delicate, and innermost layer that attaches to the gyri and sulci of the surface of the brain.
Conclusion

Thus, the three layers of the meninges of the sheep brain are dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater.
