Concept explainers
To determine: Whether the cerebrospinal fluid is more like plasma or like the interstitial fluid.
Introduction: Human brain contains a small region between the middle membrane (arachnoid mater) and pia mater. This region is known as subarachnoid space. This space contains an important fluid known as cerebrospinal fluid.
To determine: The reason for the fact that the cerebrospinal fluid is more like the interstitial fluid.
Introduction: The role of cerebrospinal fluid is to protect the brain from dangerous conditions by absorbing shocks. The waste products are stored by this fluid and later on are passed to the circulatory system of the body. This fluid is found in some ventricles that are present in the brain. It is also present in the canal region of the spinal cord.
