Water-like fluid produced in the brain that circulates and protects the brain and spinal cord, known as CSF.

Water-like fluid produced in the brain that circulates around and protects the brain and spinal cord. Shrinking or expanding of the cranial contents is usually quickly balanced by increase or decrease of this fluid.

the colorless liquid, consisting partially of substances filtered from blood and partially by secretions released by brain cells, that circulates around and through the cavities of the brain and spinal cord. Physicians use a variety of tests; (electro-phoresis, isoelectric focusing, capillary isotachophoresis and radioimmunoassay), to study cerebrospinal fluid for abnormalities often associated with MS.

The fluid that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord

a clear, nutrient-rich fluid that circulates around and through the brain and around the spinal cord. (csf)

The fluid contained within the cerebral ventricles, subarachnoid sinus, and the central canal of the spinal cord. It acts as a water cushion to protect the brain and spinal cord from shock.

Cerebr’ means brain, so this is the brain-spine fluid that surrounds and protects the brain.

A clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord in the skull and spinal column. The body continually renews this fluid by producing and then absorbing it. Among other functions, it helps to support and cushion the brain and spinal cord. The analysis of CSF can be very helpful when diagnosing various neurological diseases including meningitis, encephalitis and CJD.

the watery, clear fluid secreted by the choroids plexus, and probably the brain itself, that collects in the ventricles of the brain and surrounds the brain. It is produced at a constant rate at all times and must be correspondingly absorbed to maintain normal intracranial pressures.

the fluid that bathes and protects the brain and spinal cord.

The spaces between the meninges are filled with fluid: cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF). The fluid contains nutrients, proteins and other solutes that nourish and protect the delicate CNS tissue. In addition the CSF cushions the CNS, which literally floats in the fluid. To diagnose a number of CNS diseases the CSF is analysed chemically and microscopically for altered contents (bacteria, blood cells, altered concentration of e.g. sugar).

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), Liquor cerebrospinalis, is a clear bodily fluid that occupies the subarachnoid space in the brain (the space between the skull and the cerebral cortex—more specifically, between the arachnoid and pia layers of the meninges). It is a very pure saline solution with microglia and acts as a "cushion" or buffer for the cortex.
