CSF

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It acts as a cushion, protecting the central nervous system from injury, and helps remove waste products. CSF also supplies nutrients and maintains stable pressure within the skull and spine, ensuring that the brain and spinal cord function properly. It is produced in the ventricles of the brain and circulates through the space around the brain and spinal cord before being absorbed into the bloodstream. Accurate balance and flow of CSF are vital for neurological health.
